I agree with what you say but it's not just a number of "cases" of being diagnosed with Covid-19. People are actually dying at a higher rate after taking the vaccine than if they hadn't been vaccinated at all. Sure the rate of death is really low for booster shots in this data but they had to go through their initial first 2 doses of the vaccine and the death rates are higher on those than on the unvaccinated.

Also keep in mind that had a little note on pg 51 there that they don't count people as vaccinated until 14 days after receiving their booster/3rd dose.

"In Scotland, from the beginning of the COVID-19 vaccination programme over 3 million individuals have received a booster or 3rd dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. Of these, 96 individuals (0.003%) tested positive by PCR for SARS-CoV-2 more than fourteen days after receiving their booster or third dose of COVID-19 vaccine and subsequently died with COVID-19 recorded as underlying or contributory cause of death. The majority of these individuals (99.0%) had several comorbidities which contributed to their deaths and the mean age was 78 years old (IQR 72 to 90 years old)"

Are they doing the same thing with the 1st dose and 2nd dose? Are people considered un-1st-dosed if they died before 14 days from their 1st dose shot?
