Well, yes, it does say 'doses', (not 'people dosed' or whatever) I don't think that's at all misleading? (Maybe the title's been updated?)

You are right. But the article is still purposefully misleading. Ask yourself why they chose to lead with the big number of doses rather than the number of people vaccinated.
The answer is that it looks better, and gives the casual reader the impression that more has been done.
It requires extra brainwork to remember that for j&j 1 dose=1 complete vaccination; for pfizer 2 doses=1 complete vaccination; and so on.
