Vaccinated and unvaccinated deaths

.......... PHE data suggests that being double vaccinated reduces the risk of being hospitalised with the now-dominant delta variant by around 96%. Even conservatively assuming the vaccines are no more effective at preventing death than hospitalisation (actually they are likely to be more effective at preventing death) this means the risk of death for double vaccinated people has been cut to less than one-twentieth of the value for unvaccinated people with the same underlying risk profile.

However, the 20-fold decrease in risk afforded by the vaccine isn’t enough to offset the 32-fold increase in underlying risk of death of an 70-year-old over a 35-year-old. Given the same risk of infection, we would still expect to see more double-vaccinated 70-year-olds die from COVID than unvaccinated 35-year-olds. .............

Yes, Vermont is amongst the highest vaccinated state in the US.
As it has been relaxing mask wearing and social distancing infections has risen steeply.
At the same time, deaths has decreased.  Probably this will be repeated elsewhere.

The vaccine does not stop you getting covid, it helps greatly in you surviving covid.
It greatly reduces your symptoms and seriousness of this desease
