My locale also has the highest reported rates of testing that you'll find. Indeed, if you discount case counts and choose objective measures of increases in hospitalization (small to moderate) or increases in deaths (not detectable yet), the picture is even more tilted in the direction I describe. That is, it seems we undercount less here, so the difference in true rates is even greater than I claim above. Unfortunately, hospitalization and death rates are not broken out by vaccination status, and are low enough that they'd be mostly noise even if they were. This precludes doing the same kinds of analysis with death or hospitalization data. And, of course, the fact that my locale takes things more seriously on the whole is its own confound. That is, vaccination rates are not an independent variable.
