Net implies you are counting positives and subtracting negatives. As in, net lives saved vs. lives lost. Subtracting the 341 people who got breakthrough and died of irrelevant reasons does not make this a "net" metric. You're right I must have missed the "/" symbol. But the point remains that your comparison is irrelevant and ignoring very bright signals that the vaccines are effective. The rise in percentages are not as noteworthy as you imply as we're dealing with very small numbers to begin with.
