Per the article (1200 hospitalizations, 150 deaths) 12.5% is the death rate among vaccinated people who were hospitalized for COVID, not who got COVID. So you're missing an extra probability multiplication to account for what percentage of vaccinated people who do catch COVID go on to have a severe enough case to be hospitalized. That should be a big difference.
