NYT is lame.
One in 5,000-10,000 is what the article states. Not unvaccinated. It doesn't sound like you read the article or clicked on this link:

https://www.nytimes.com/article/breakthrough-infections-covid-19-coronavirus.html

A recent study in Los Angeles County showed that while breakthrough infections can happen, the unvaccinated are 29 times as likely to end up hospitalized from Covid-19 as a vaccinated person.

Apparently you've missed the memo on the fourth wave.
