The vaccine is not 100% effective and only reduces transmission of the virus.
It is inevitable that some who die with covid will have been fully vaccinated.
The real question is how many of those currently dying WITH covid are (a) unvaccinated, or (b) dying from an unrelated malady (as most of the elderly eventually do)
This will leave a balance of those vaccinated dying FROM covid as the principal cause.
My slightly informed guess is that of the average fatalities WITH covid of 150 per day, only ~50 die FROM covid having been vaccinated.
This must be put into context - an average of 30,000 pa die from flu and pneumonia each year. Over a 5 month "season" this is an average of ~200 per day.
Neither is a "happy" number - but this is what "learning to live with it" means.
