Yes, you are spot on. As you approach 100% vaccination rate then you will approach 100% of those who die from COVID have been vaccinated. In 2022, we achieved a high enough vaccination rate (nearly 90%) that a majority of those who died were actually vaccinated. It is the sort of statistic that doesn't really relay any sort of useful information. This reminds of the efficacy rates associated with the COVID vaccines when they first came out. I believe the statistic was misunderstood, and misused, by many people.

A greater rate than what? Are they dying at a greater rate than the unvaccinated. No they are not. Math is hard. Understanding statistics is beyond the grasp of too many people.
If 95% of people wear seat belts and seat belts save 1/2 the lives of those who would otherwise die in crashes... consider the following.
There are 1000 crashes which would be fatal with no seat belt. Using our assumption, 950 of those crashes had seat belt wearers. As we save 1/2 the lives, we have 475 belt wearers who die [1/2 of 950] and we have only 50 non belt wearers who die. Proof in your world that people who wear seat belts "are dying at a greater rate"
That is what you are doing.
