For the first time, a majority of Americans dying from the coronavirus received at least the primary series of the vaccine. Fifty-eight percent of coronavirus deaths in August were people who were vaccinated or boosted, according to an analysis conducted for The Health 202 by Cynthia Cox, vice president at the Kaiser Family Foundation.
It’s a continuation of a troubling trend that has emerged over the past year. As vaccination rates have increased and new variants appeared, the share of deaths of people who were vaccinated has been steadily rising. In September 2021, vaccinated people made up just 23 percent of coronavirus fatalities. In January and February this year, it was up to 42 percent, per our colleagues Fenit Nirappil and Dan Keating.

This is just the start...
When you realize the vaccine is the end game and covid was simply a catalyst to get us here the last 2 years make much more sense.
Props to anyone who didn't fall for the biggest psy-op in human history. My sympathy to those who saw it but were forced just the same.

Well that's to be expected really.
People with health issues tended to get the vaccines so even with the "supposed" protection they are still an at risk group with weak immune systems.
Would they still be alive if they hadn't gotten the vaccine or did it just not make enough difference?

the deaths are because nobody is getting booster shots, the first doses lose effectiveness over time as the virus keeps adapting, and unvaccinated deaths are not lower at all even with increasing death rates of both vaccinated and unvaccinated, i mean since when was 42% a majority? that means 58% of covid deaths are from unvaccinated.
denying it will totally change the outcome. Go get em tiger.

But wait, I thought this vaccine was supposed to be effective?
I think I am going to sue my former employer for forcing this on me at the threat of losing my job.

This is true, and considering there are far more vaxxed than unvaxxed these sorts of figures are not surprising. This is especially so when you consider that the vax doesn’t do much in reality - apart from ruin those who have received it, or many of them.
I am still staunchly against having experimental drugs forced into my body and have stayed clear. I think we are on the cusp of a wave of horror from those vaccines. Figures like these, though, don’t mean an awful lot.

It is.
From the numbers you cited, the population of those who are vaccinated and get a breakout case of COVID is (58/42) ≈ 1.38 times as likely to contribute to the overall death toll.
However, about 81% of the population is vaccinated and 19% is not:
covid19.healthdata.org...
That means that the population of vaccinated people is (81/19) ≈ 4.26 times bigger than the population of the unvaccinated.
Since the population of vaccinated people is 4.26 times bigger than the population of unvaccinated but contributes only 1.38 times as many deaths as the population of unvaccinated, it should be obvious that the population of the unvaccinated is contributing disproportionately more deaths to the overall COVID death toll.
Specifically, and with the numbers cited, being unvaccinated increases your probability of contributing to the overall Covid death toll by a factor of (4.26/1.38) ≈ 3.
