- Population is considered fixed (or growing very slowly)

- More people get vaccinated: A

- Less people remain unvaccinated: A' (=1-A)

- More people get infected: B

B/A' will of course grow more rapidly than B/A

Statistics professors everywhere just giving a long, sad sigh.
B/A' and B/A are nonsensical statistics that nobody tracks. The figures people report are infected vaccinated individuals over A and infected unvaccinated individuals over A'.
Isn't there a corresponding B' involved here? Or am I just dumb.
