One thing that needs checking is how many of those unvaccinated people in the hospitals and ICUs were people for whom it was deemed medically inadvisable to vaccinate -- we thought them so old and frail that even a mild bad reaction to the vaccine might kill them, or their cancers have just gone into remission, or they are on strong immuno-suppressant drugs, and so on and so forth. All of these people could be expected to end up seriously ill with covid should they catch it, but it is disingenuous to claim that this says anything about the effectiveness of the vaccines. What you are measuring is how dreadfully sick people deemed too sick to be vaccinated are.

I think the Omikron SSI Report from Denmark is quite revealing. They have less then 5 patients in ICU with Omikron: https://files.ssi.dk/covid19/omikron/statusrapport/rapport-omikronvarianten-31122021-ct18

In newer reports it isn't included anymore i think.
