Consider the extremal point: If 100% of people are vaccinated, then all cases are breakthrough cases, and 0% of cases will be in unvaccinated people.

It means that comparing the absolute numbers of people infected in both groups - vaccinated people and unvaccinated people - or even the percentage of the total number of infections is not valid. You need to take the ratio of people infected relative to the group size.
