Mortality isn't the only important measure here. A big argument that's been made for the vaccine is that it reduces the likelihood of hospitalization. This study doesn't specifically go into hospitalizations, but out of 31 severe cases of Covid-19, 30 of them were in the placebo group. It's important to note that there were only 31 severe cases of Covid-19. It's not surprising that the mortality rate between the placebo and vaccine groups is pretty even with those numbers.
I'm glad that you're trying to follow the data and not just the headlines, but it's also important to have the base knowledge to understand what the data actually indicates.
