Let's say, for the sake of illustration, that at one point 90% of the people are unvax'd and 10% vax'd... AND we see numbers that show 90% of the deaths are of unvax'd and 10% of deaths from vax'd. - How effective then is the vaccine?

Let's say that 100% of the population is vax'd. What then would be the percentage of the deaths of vax'd people?

See how that works?

Your argument is useless because it is based on made up numbers to support your argument. Try reading this and let us know what you think. It's from the NYT August 10, 2021:

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/08/10/us/covid-breakthrough-infections-vaccines.html

In a state with a high vaccination rate, a higher percentage of breakthroughs may simply reflect that fully vaccinated people are a bigger chunk of the population, or that there are few hospitalizations and deaths overall. Imagine a state where just two people are hospitalized but both are vaccinated — breakthroughs would account for 100 percent of the hospitalizations in that state, even though these cases were very rare.
Assessing breakthrough rates

Some epidemiologists and state health officials instead recommend comparing how likely a vaccinated person was to be hospitalized or to die, compared with an unvaccinated person.

To do this, the Times used the number of breakthroughs and the vaccination rate over time to estimate rates of hospitalizations and deaths for each group in every state for which data was available.

In those states, people who were not fully vaccinated were hospitalized with Covid-19 at least five times more often than fully vaccinated people, according to the analysis, and they died at least eight times more often.
