That makes sense but the study I linked uses a similar logic as you do only they seem to use countries like Israel and Singapore to push the opposing view - that high vaccination status havent translated into lower infection rates. Seems like you can cherry pick data to support whatever view you want and thats probably what this study did, which is why I was curious if it was peer reviewed.

It feels more to me like not controlling for other factors, in particular the lifting of restrictions and mask mandates. I'd also at a guess suspect vaccinated people are less cautious. Most importantly of all though, what really matters isn't how many people test positive, but how many people end up sick, especially with serious illness. If, for example (and again this is an example, not something I am claiming is the actual effect of current or future vaccines), the vaccine did nothing to prevent infection but prevented all symptoms no matter how mild, a 100% vaccinated population would not even realise the virus existed, even if thousands or even millions of people per day were becoming infected.
