The data for country analysis came from Our World in Data cross country COVID-19 information. While this data set may contain confounding variables, such as testing rates between countries, the large data set can still detect trends. The county-level data for the United States was provided by the White House COVID-19 data team.

See this website . One only needs to read the first paragraph of the study’s findings to be shocked (emphasis added):

At the country-level, there appears to be no discernable relationship between percentage of population fully vaccinated and new COVID-19 cases in the last 7 days (Fig. 1). In fact, the trend line suggests a marginally positive association such that countries with higher percentage of population fully vaccinated have higher COVID-19 cases per 1 million people. Notably, Israel with over 60% of their population fully vaccinated had the highest COVID-19 cases per 1 million people in the last 7 days. The lack of a meaningful association between percentage population fully vaccinated and new COVID-19 cases is further exemplified, for instance, by comparison of Iceland and Portugal. Both countries have over 75% of their population fully vaccinated and have more COVID-19 cases per 1 million people than countries such as Vietnam and South Africa that have around 10% of their population fully vaccinated.

This is pretty much nonsense. The countries with low Covid rates are mostly garbage countries in Asia and Africa. It’s not that they don’t have Covid, it’s that they don’t have the ability to test for it.

This study is basically saying the same countries that have the infrastructure to test for Covid also have the ability to get vaccines to them.
