This is a faulty study, and will be either corrected or retracted once peer reviewed!
You cannot exclude "Previously SARS-CoV-2 PCR-positive individuals" and correlate VE against the same cohort you just removed a significant percentage of them!
You are skewing your test data significantly towards the unvaccinated cohort (which has much higher rate of PCR positive than the vaccinated cohort)
If negative VE was not a clue for the faulty calculations, I don't know what would be!
The authors removed an entire cohort from the study which would have completely changed the results. And they admitted they did so. This is a preprint. If you don’t know what a preprint is by now, you shouldn’t be wasting our time. As. Soon as this is peer reviewed it will be assigned to the trash can. I
