This shows me that there's barely any difference between vaxxed and unvaxxed. With the vaxxed getting sick just slightly more.

that's still a single data point, which means you can't draw any meaningful conclusions from it

Statistical analysis 101, folks. Also, even if the sample size were large enough to draw meaningful conclusions, you cannot reach the conclusion of "vaccinated people are more likely to get sick" from the data available. To do that, you need to compare these results to the percentage of the non-hospitalized population that has been vaccinated and identify a significant difference from what would be expected from a random sample.

More people in the county where this hospital is are vaxed than unvaxed, so the numbers being slightly higher on that end make sense to some degree.

Looks like they're sitting at around 58% vaccinated, which means those numbers actually line up pretty well with what you'd expect from the null hypothesis (that is, the vaccine does nothing). As you say, though, you can't conclude anything from one day's data.
