Of course one would like to see the data broken down more granularly.
That said, nothing we know about how vaccines or the immune system works should lead us to believe someone is more susceptible to a disease immediately after being vaccinated.
Although, if we're already talking about "people straight up agains these vaccines", then it's pretty evident they already don't give two shits about the science and it's just some weird sociopolitical agenda or conspiracy theory.
> Four cohorts of adults aged ≥18 years were considered: persons who were 1) unvaccinated with no previous laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis, 2) vaccinated (14 days after completion of a primary COVID-19 vaccination series) with no previous COVID-19 diagnosis, 3) unvaccinated with a previous COVID-19 diagnosis, and 4) vaccinated with a previous COVID-19 diagnosis.
Note that "14 days" gap in point 2. Having completed vaccinations but not yet past those 14 days is a sort of dead zone that either ends up grouped in with "unvaccinated" or, I suppose, could be just dropped altogether.
That group really needs to be broken out into its own thing, as that's (one of) the thing(s) the people who are straight against these vaccines are concerned about. They're saying that for those 14 days, you're more prone to infection than someone who is actually unvaccinated, and end up counted in the unvaccinated stats if you are infected.
