One paper I’ve seen in rural California reports numbers split between vaxed and unvaccinated. Those numbers suggest the unvaccinated are infected at a rate ~ 100x the vaccinated.

Additionally, most days I’ve seen suggests that vaccinated parties are still less likely to end up in the hospital.

I am assuming the reports you have mentioned are hospitalisaions thus ... are hospitalised at a rate ~100x

The proportion of asymptomatic infections among the included studies ranged from 1.4% to 78.3%. [1] So hard to draw too many conclusions from hospitalisation rates as to the infection rate (and virus carrier / transmitter)
