Yes, it did. Did you read the study? I don't think you did.

I know you want to say that anybody who calls you on your misinformation is a "handshake" or "glowie" or whatever other thought ending memes you want to throw out. But the fact that your response is just to gainsay, wave hands, and use thought-enders, tells me that you've given up trying to defend your misinformation.

You're either lying to yourself or you're lying to everybody else.

You didn't inform readers of your post of the numerous disclaimers in the report:

They state that a simple comparison of COVID-19 case rates in those who are vaccinated and unvaccinated should not be used to assess how effective a vaccine is in preventing serious health outcomes, because there are a number of differences between the groups, other than the vaccine itself, and these biases mean that you cannot use the rates to determine how well the vaccines work.

You didn't mention that in Scotland, a high number of people are vaccinated:

In Scotland, there has been a very high uptake of the COVID-19 vaccine. As of 04 February 2022, 89.7% of 18 years old and over have received a second dose and 74.4% have received a third dose or booster of COVID-19 vaccine. No vaccine is 100% effective and it’s expected that cases, hospitalisations, and deaths from COVID-19 will occur in the vaccinated population as well as the unvaccinated population.

Evidence suggests the COVID-19 vaccines are over 75% effective at preventing a severe outcome of COVID-19. COVID-19 hospitalisations and deaths are strongly driven by older age, with most deaths occurring in those over 70 years old and having multiple other illnesses.

Data and rates presented in this section are not a measure of vaccine effectiveness

These are all direct quotes from your source. None of which you mention in your little meme post. The purpose is clearly to mislead people into thinking the vaccines are not effective, just the opposite of what the data show.

So if you read the report, why did you pass on misleading information about it? Were you trying to be honest?
