The other problems with the analysis are that the vax apparently reduces symptoms thus contributing to undercounting cases, and it doesn't take into account the relative sizes of vaxed and unvaxed population in the UK.
When I did a similar analysis a few months ago I normalized the ratio of death counts by the ratio of population size for the two populations and found that for delta variant, vaccination produced about a 40% reduction in deaths. Which is something, but really is not that impressive given all the other risks of the shots.

These numbers look roughly similar to me.
