Take a look at this article, it explains why calculating CFR this way is not accurate: https://www.capradio.org/articles/2021/05/10/no-the-death-ra... > Erin Mordecai, an assistant professor of biology at
Stanford University, agreed with Riley about the
miscalculation, and cautioned against the comparison.
> She said it’s impossible to accurately calculate a death
rate for each group — vaccinated versus vaccinated —
because demographics skew the data.
> “Those breakthrough cases may not be an average subset
of the population, they may be a more at risk group that's
more likely to have severe disease anyway,” Mordecai said.
“To better understand what's going on with the relative
risk, you would need to know the demographics of the
underlying health conditions of the people who experienced
those breakthrough cases and deaths.”

P.S. That article did not age well.
