Its Texas. The unvaccinated who perished likely include a substantial number of illegals, Mexicans who went over the border for treatment, and poor Mexicans-Americans. Texas has a lot of obesity too, which seems concentrated in groups that have low vaccine use including but not limited to African Americans and Latinos. . The study is really telling you that C19 is a disease that disproportionately effects the poor and illegals.

Yes, this is healthy user bias. The same thing is happening in Hawaii w/native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders. They are only 10% of the population but are 48% of the Covid hospitalizations. While they have lower rates of vaccination than other ethnic groups in Hawaii, they also are more likely to be poor, live in crowded living conditions, and have comorbidities like obesity, heart disease, and diabetes.
