It's a bit morbid to think of but this is almost literally natural selection in action: People with the vaccine accepting phenotype are dying at lower rates than the vaccine hesitant phenotype because they have adapted to their environment better. Whether this leads to adaptation in the broader population remains to be seen. My guess is that it won't because most of the people who aren't getting vaccinated and dying are 1. too small in number and 2. Primarily past the age of reproduction anyway.
