Pretty sure Simpson's Paradox applies here.

Vaccinated people have more cases than unvaccinated cases, but when you look at both sets of data together, it's far worse for the unvacccinated.

You can't just look at the quantities and be done with it. You need to look at the data with the correct analysis. Not the analysis you want to apply to get the conclusion you want, but the most appropriate one given the data sets.

Quote:
Dr Watson said looking at cases per 1000 people, 3.1 were unvaccinated but just 0.73 were vaccinated showing unvaccinated people were 4.2 times more likely to be infected.

And it's even more startling with hospitalisations. Per 1000 people, 0.32 were unvaccinated and 0.017 were vaccinated meaning unvaccinated people are 18 times more likely to be hospitalised.
