First that is not true - in the UK for instance, hospital admissions are around 50:50 last I've seen, with 89% of adults vaccinated (pointing to 80%+ vaccine efficacy). Second, even if it were true, the proportion of vaccinated people among the highly susceptible older population is far higher. These older people have higher chance and severity of breakthrough infection, so comparing raw number will get you misleading results.

I'm not talking about hospital admission, which yes, are way lower in the vaccinated. I'm talking about those with confirmed Covid infections. It looks like the vaccination does lower the risk of infection, but it's relatively marginal. But yes, it strongly protects against serious disease.
