Umm, it is though?

Given the probability (or risk) P(unvac) of an unvaccinated person to get infected, the probability P(vac) of a vaccinated person is 90% lower, or: P(vac) = (1 - 90%) * P(unvac) = 0.1 * P(unvac)

I understand that meaning, but it is very strange and confusing formulation. Just say it's 10x lower.
