When Ohio released it's "breakthrough" dashboard, I thought it was misleading as well since it included all of 2021 and the vaccine wasn't available to all adults until mid-April or so. Because of that, I started recording the weekly snapshots for a few weeks but lost interest. Since I was capturing weekly, you could just look at the new numbers. Here's what my data showed for Ohio:
Between Sep-15 and Oct-27, there were 2899 COVID deaths. Of those, 2625 were unvaxxed or partially vaxxed and 274 were fully vaxxed. So fully vaxxed deaths were about 9.5% of COVID deaths during that period. I stopped capturing weekly data at that point.
I just went and looked at it again with the most updated numbers and from Oct-27 when I stopped recording weekly data and today, 92% of Ohio COVID deaths are unvaxxed.
Given all that, I don't think starting at 2021 is all that misleading at all. Ohio's fully-vaxxed rate for adults is around 65%. Even assuming it was closer to 60% in the fall, you have 40% of the Ohio's population accounting for 90%+ of its COVID deaths.
