The thing about one state being larger than the UK, is you will naturally have more deaths in the entire country compared to the UK.
And we established Vaccine is not immunity, it only offers heavy protection. People with vaccines can and DO die from infection.
So the question is how many people who died are unvaxxed, how many who died while unvaxxed died before they became available, and what is the rate of deaths since they became available?
Plus what areas are they happening in. Perhaps heavy concentrations of people have greater rates, vaxxed or not.
