I thought the unvaccinated were dying against vaccinated literally 99:1
Am I misinterpreting what you're saying?

Edit. Oh, I see now. From the fourth article: "99% of Alabama’s 2,379 COVID deaths from January to June were unvaccinated". Alabama had a covid wave in Jan, which then subsided. Mass vaccination only started in Jan, by the time the wave was over maybe 10-20% of the population was vaccinated. The numbers are dominated by the pre-vaccination wave, plus VE is high early on which limits the vaccinated deaths. Verdict: technically correct, but highly misleading.

YES this right here is such a deliberate sleight of hand by the media, and as GP demonstrated they get away with it a lot!
> 1:9 unvax:vax
Shouldn't this be the other way around? 9 unvaxxed dying for every 1 vaxxed? Otherwise I'm not seeing the quoted claim in the report you linked.
The closest I've been able to find for the U.S. is this Connecticut report on hospitalization. Unfortunately it omits unvaccinated deaths, but we see hospitalizations at a rate of 4:1 (unvax:vax)

Edit: The totals come at 669 unvax deaths vs. 3011 vax deaths. The raw numbers ratio is roughly 2:8 unvax:vax. This is not VE, as it is not adjusted to vax levels in the population. It is just a sanity check of certain claims in the US media.

total 669 3011I believe with Delta, the ratio is closer to 19:1.
But uh...still certainly a damn good reason to get vaccinated.
I don’t doubt your statement but do you have any sources or articles about this? I’d like to learn more detail.
