It screams cherry-picked data. Look at how oddly specific each citation is:

> In Massachusetts, USA, a total of 469 new COVID-19 cases were detected during various events in July, 2021

> In the USA, a total of 10 262 COVID-19 cases were reported in vaccinated people by April 30, 2021

> In Germany, 55·4% of symptomatic COVID-19 cases in patients aged 60 years or older were in fully vaccinated individuals

> In Münster, Germany, new cases of COVID-19 occurred in at least 85 (22%) of 380 people who were fully vaccinated or who had recovered from COVID-19 and who attended a nightclub

If the author has a strong argument, why not present more than disjointed months of data in specific cities, states and populations?

Because he would have to revert his whole point. 10262 cases among vaccinated people is actually lower than any 7-day moving average and he points out on a data (check the source ref) from 1 Jan 2021 - a day with over 100k cases per day.

Full story laughs at its author.
