Yes I posted this on another thread yesterday but it is worth a wider airing, before the antivaxxer crowd picks up these stats to misuse them.

Simple IMO

55% in UK are fully vaccinated

So, naturally most dying of Covid have been vaccinated

From the same article:

The PHE report also reveals that nearly a third of deaths from the Delta variant are of unvaccinated people over 50, which may be surprising given high vaccine coverage; for example, OpenSAFELY estimates more than 93% among the 65-69s. But there are lower rates in deprived areas and some ethnicities and communities with limited coverage will continue to experience more than their fair share of loss.

According to the article you posted, only 43% of those dying have been fully vaccinated:

MailOnline headline on 13 June read: “Study shows 29% of the 42 people who have died after catching the new strain had BOTH vaccinations.” In Public Health England’s technical briefing on 25 June, that figure had risen to 43% (50 of 117), with the majority (60%) having received at least one dose.
