Delivering all these "general statistics" is misleading, because people are extrapolating the elderly deaths across the entire population and that's obviously not how it works.
It's delivered as a general statistic because it's true for every demographic. No matter who you are you're at more of a risk of needing specialised care if you're not vaccinated & catch covid then if you are vaccinated. And the risk or receiving a vaccination injury requiring specialised care is less than the risk of not getting vaccinated.

Yes the older you get the greater the risk but for other age groups it's not insignificant.

Even if we pretend it's entirely elderly people being hospitalized & dying that's actually another reason why we should be getting vaccinated.
