That would be a worrying number if the vaccination rate was at 50%, which it isn't. It is much higher, so the total number of vaccinated people vastly surpasses the number of unvaccinated people.
Taking everything into account it's about eight to nine times as likely for an unvaccinated person to end up in ITS compared to a vaccinated person. Things will get even worse for the unvaccinated if you split the cases into different age groups. While it's about a one to four ratio for people older than 80 it's already a one to ten ratio for people aged 60-70 and a one to 20 ratio for people aged 45-50. Below that age overall ITS numbers get too small to make definite conclusions, but there's a clear indication that the numbers are not going down.
And again: breakthroughs are to be expected. Vaccines aren't an impenetrable defense, and nobody who understands how vaccines work would claim they were.
