I'm wondering how they arrived at those numbers, because I looked at the last few weeks of reports from the UK HSA site and none of the numbers come close to suggesting anything close to what is being reported here.
But the vaccination rate in the UK is around 90% for adults, so proportions probably aren't being factored into the data here. If we assume that all the numbers being reported are true, then vaccines are still more effective than the control group since a smaller proportion are dying or requiring hospitalization.

When much of a population has been vaccinated, most infections and deaths are expected to be among those vaccinated. Also, this data does not show that people who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 are more likely to die from the virus.
When adjusted proportionally to display the rate per 100,000 people in all age groups, the number of COVID-19 deaths is higher in the unvaccinated population than in the vaccinated population, the data shows.
For the over-80s, the rate of death per 100,000 unvaccinated was 156. For those vaccinated, it was 49.5
On Monday at least one patient infected with the new omicron variant of Covid-19 has died in the UK.
Earlier on Monday, U.K. Health Secretary Sajid Javid told the BBC that 10 people were currently in hospital after being infected with the omicron variant.
He said omicron was spreading at a “phenomenal rate” and cases were doubling every few days.
Sorry but you are just someone who has gullibly swallowed the guff of the anti-fax era without consulting those who have worked in the field as some of us have. And you are putting this nonsense out on the internet. @WalterF
@Grvstu So there is the difference between a member of the so-called "anti-vaxxer mob" (myself, apparently), and a covid religionist.
One is polite enough to wish his opponent well.
The other ends by calling her opponent a gullible guff-swallower.
Compare the two! one is bitter, the other is gracious. I know which camp I'd rather be in. And I have chosen it.
Again, I wish you well. Although I am saddened by your ardent belief that the work of countless highly qualified scientists (hidden from you because you have been hypnotised by the media narrative) amounts to nothing, and is probably all made up.
Sorry but you are the one who has been absolutely hypnotised by a false narrative. Just like people were hypnotised when Pasteur and Jenner invented vaccines. Amazing that scientific breakthroughs are always greeted with scepticism. Listen to people who actually know what they’re talking about and not pseudoscientists @WalterF
