I think we are saying the same thing in slightly different ways.

Agreed, they found fewer cases of Covid, the disease not the infection, based on self report data from the two test populations. They did not test the entire population for CoV-2 infection, if they did a difference in 8 cases may not have been considered statistically significant depending on what they intended to show.

My claims here have nothing to do with whether vaccines prevent infection or that 100% is a realistic expectation. I'm simply pointing out that what was actually tested and reported in the trials can't be used to support claims of reducing infection or transmissibility. If that's what the OP paper here is doing I call BS.
