I understand that people may prefer to draw generalized interference from personal experience, but that's not generally how things are conducted in research.

But if this is just one of those "all research and science is bad" arguments, then there isn't much to discuss

Others might want to discuss the impacts of the affected 10-20%.

Are estimation and probability novel terms or concepts to you?

I understand that view of thinking one's personal experience is representative of everyone. I just don't agree with that view.
I can also see why those who believe letting it rip is an optimal strategy would want to reject anything that suggests repeated infections might impact some people.

Concepts of estimation, probability, and uncertainty are key elements in sciences like epidemiology.

One is not considered vaccinated till 14 days after injection…so OP’s study does not actually give a true assessment of control group

But, it wasn't a vaccine comparison, so you might be looking for a control group that wasn't part of the design. The condition of interest was infection.
The authors detail the cohort in the paper.
My guess is they wanted to preemptively address those who would attribute the results to vaccines

But, I can understand why you need or want to believe vaccines are the cause in this study (without reading it).
