There was another statistic in there that didn’t favor the vaccinated, I don’t recall exactly what it was.

It was from a single week of data from a single area small with a small sample size. It looked like he tortured the data to reach his desired headline to me. He gave a reference of level of unvaccinated to include everyone unvaccinated at 48% which included those under 12. His death rate of 52% vaccinated surely was primarily elderly of which the baseline vaccination is munch higher.
There was a ton of data available on that Nevada site. He could have done an earnest analysis if he wanted to, but didn't. I spent 10 min trying to follow his analysis and then gave up.
left leaning and right leaning outlets are equally guilty in creative statistics to suit their agenda. Everything I have seen that attempts to be reasonably honest with their analysis and sample selection paints a pretty rosey pic for vaccine effectiveness for preventing serious illness.
