Fairly obvious explanation there - have a look at the age breakdowns

Again, look at the age breakdowns and you'll see why that is a misleading figure

Over 50s - 1.4% deaths in vaccinated, 3.9% unvaccinated Under 50s - 0% deaths vaccinated, 0.01% unvaccinated I.e. 75-100% protective of death, once you stratify by age

And only 4 people under 50 died of covid in Australia so the ARR of vaccination is minimal

ARR is misleading in this case because as time trends towards infinity the risk of being infected at least once approaches 1, which means that the ARR as time -> future approaches RRR
