Even if we had that data it wouldn't be a fair evaluation of vaccine efficacy. The elderly are the most vaccinated demographic, have the highest number of brea

  Just to add on to what you're pointing out, the existing UK data[1] makes this even more obvious. Technically it reports that about 2/3s of the total deaths were of vaccinated people (402 fully vaccinated deaths, 253 unvaccinated), even though only about 1/3 of cases are in fully vaccinated people (47,008 vs 151,054). But this is totally expected because the vaccinated rate in the >50 age range is extremely high, and they account for practically all the deaths (from those groups the <50 age range only accounts for 60 deaths, with 4/5 of those in the unvaccinated population). In that >50 population, there were way more vaccinated cases than unvaccinated (because the rate is so high), so if you calculate the CFR for just that age range it's actually about ~6% for the unvaccinated and only ~1.8% for the fully vaccinated, so in reality those who got the vaccine had much better outcomes even though when combining both age groups it looks like it was much worse.
