The outcomes are measured in Cumulative Index, which is the number of occurances relative to the total population. Not incidences relative to infected population.
Since no information is supplied as to how at risk or exposed to covid the whole cohort are there is no baseline for infection rate. The infected 6100 UnVax and 4460 Vaxed, does not reflect how susceptible they were to covid, or exposure.
The IFR for this group is close to 0.5% UnVaxed and 0.2% Vaxed.
The mistake you made is Adding up the already "cummulative" figures for you're stats.
This study is purely to prove viability of a vaccination, not to prove anything to do directly with Covid.
Oopps. The work experience kid has been left to run the 43Inches login this evening.
