Of the people infected, vaccinated people had a larger percentage of SA variant. This doesn't mean they had more cases. Some simple numbers to illustrate.
1000 vaccinated people
10 cases of Covid
4 cases of SA variant
1000 non vaccinated people
200 cases of Covid
20 cases of SA variant
A relationship like the one above is the only thing the article claims. They pulled 150 Covid positive people from vaccinated group and compared it to 150 Covid positive people from the unvaccinated group. The vaccinated group were much less likely to get infected with anything. If you can find anything in the article (or anything anywhere) that refutes this please share.
The answer is: it's not. The SA variant is more prevalent in the sample of people that WERE INFECTED. So OF THE PEOPLE THAT WERE INFECTED, the SA variant was more prevalent (in percentages) in vaccinated people. The absolute count is still smaller. If you were to sample all people (instead of just infected people), the SA variant counts would be lower in vaccinated ppl than in unvaccinated. The purpose of this test was to understand how the vaccine was performing against the SA variant. The results of the test suggest it doesn't perform as well on it, but it's still better than no vaccine and absolutely no reason to believe that you're MORE likely to get Covid after you've had the vaccine.
What a shitshow of comprehension you are displaying.
You go back and read the article, dipstick.
You could read “THE SKY IS BLUE” and argue that it doesn’t say the sky isn’t red. You are a fool. I got nothing else for you.

Why is the SA variant 8 times more prevalent in vaccinated people vs unvaccinated?
Why? That’s all.
