Subramanian Kumar 2021 [1] found that there is no correlation between vaccination rates and new case rates on a country-wide level, or a county-wide level in the United States.

This tracks with Dr. Vanden Bossche's assessment [2] from March of this year that mass vaccination with prophylactic vaccines will actually prolong and worsen the pandemic due to shedding of infectious variants.

Imagine having this data and concluding there is no relationship between vaccination and new case rate.

Stop spreading misinformation. The 'study' is in itself a case study about shitty studies. Also check who Akhil Kumar is and what are his credentials.

Vanden Bossche seems alone in this regard? Surely NPIs would ameliorate that?

Aside from islands closing their borders and implementing extremely strict testing and quarantine regimes (and even these don't hold up forever), the evidence for the effectiveness of NPIs is a lot thinner than you might intuitively expect.
