I'll try again since you don't seem to understand. 15%, or about 1/6, of those who die in the hospital (and presumably entered the hospital because of having developed COVID-19) have been vaccinated. This is different than saying 15% of those who are hospitalized (and were vaccinate) actually die. This is what you asserted. Not everyone who enters the hospital dies. But, if you enter the hospital and do die, there is a 15% probability that you were vaccinated. From the referenced chart, we don't know what percentages of people who enter the hospital who actually die.

There is a name for this kind of contest, just cannot seem to recall.
