I think this speaks to the vaxxed/non vaxxed question raised

Associations Between County-level Vaccination Rates and COVID-19 Outcomes Among Medicare Beneficiaries in Early 2021
The purpose of this study is to identify associations between COVID-19 infections, hospitalizations, and deaths among Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) beneficiaries and the proportion of the population fully vaccinated at the county-level between January and May 2021.

From the article: "The purpose of this study is to identify associations between COVID-19 infections, hospitalizations, and deaths among Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) beneficiaries and the proportion of the population fully vaccinated at the county-level between January and May 2021. We do so by using a combination of person-level Medicare FFS claims and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data on county-level vaccination rates. Based on these results, we then estimated the net reduction in infections, hospitalizations, and deaths among all 62.7 million Medicare beneficiaries associated with the first 5 months of the U.S.’s COVID-19 vaccine roll-out. Our results indicate that COVID-19 vaccinations from January until May 2021 were associated with an estimated reduction of more than 265,000 COVID-19 infections and nearly 39,000 deaths among Medicare beneficiaries.
Is this supposed to be good? 265,000 infections in 5 months in Vaxxed Medicare patients only? And 39,000 deaths? Or that is their guesstimate of the reduction????
Why can't we get simple, clear concise, accurate data for
1) "How many new CV cases during Jan-May 2021?" and after to date?
2) "of those new cases, how many were vaxxed and how many were not?"
3) "How many died from CV that were vaxxed?"
4) "How many died from CV who were not vaxxed?"
