I am neutral on this issue.
Here's my take on "WHY" that is probably the case.
People who have had the vaccine are probably more likely to engage in behaviors that expose them to risk of infection, versus people who are unvaccinated.
I do not have evidence to back that up, but it is a logical argument.
Please consider it.

The vaccine is supposed to stop you getting infected in the first place

But it may surprise you to know that not all vaccines provide the same level of protection. Some vaccines stop you getting symptomatic disease, but others stop you getting infected too.
The latter is known as “sterilising immunity”. With sterilising immunity, the virus can’t even gain a toehold in the body because the immune system stops the virus entering cells and replicating.

How's smallpox and polio treating you?
Understand, that without mandates of the past, you probably wouldn't even be alive.

You need an annual 'flu jab - and even then it doesn't make you immune - what's the difference?
Our Operating System
Recognizing the broad potential of mRNA science, we set out to create an mRNA technology platform that functions very much like an operating system on a computer. It is designed so that it can plug and play interchangeably with different programs. In our case, the "program” or “app” is our mRNA drug - the unique mRNA sequence that codes for a protein.
We have a dedicated team of several hundred scientists and engineers solely focused on advancing Moderna's platform technology. They are organized around key disciplines and work in an integrated fashion to advance knowledge surrounding mRNA science and solve for challenges that are unique to mRNA drug development. Some of these disciplines include mRNA biology, chemistry, formulation & delivery, bioinformatics and protein engineering.
