That's from the linked paper. The authors don't claim at all that the vaccine has negative efficacy, and the study is simply not set up to measure that anyway. You cannot draw this conclusion from the data in this paper.

Personally, I think it's a statistical fluke, and was going to argue that it must be due to a smaller sample size until I saw the width of the confidence intervals (CI's get narrower as observations increase).
Very odd, and I'll be surprised if that makes it through peer review intact.

It stands to reason that the unvaccinated at this point are in large parts hermits who are "protected" by their lifestyle. However, it's also plausible that the non-neutralizing antibodies from the vaccine induce a suboptimal immune response with Omikron.
