They read the figure correctly.

Unfortunately the study authors didn’t provide the underlying data that created the figure in a consumable format, so it’s hard to draw conclusions.

Table 1 tells us that there were 6 total Omicron-period deaths while hospitalized in the fully vaccinated group. It is almost certainly a single death. It's conceivable that it's two deaths, but more than that appears mathematically impossible.
Precisely, but what gp said is technically correct.

Honestly it was fairly irresponsible for the study authors not to contextualize that graphic better.
