Since antivaxxers are afraid of reading studies, whether cited by themselves or anyone else, here's the graph and the explanation from my linked paper (figure 3). In every single case but one (Oxford-AstraZeneca, due to stated tiny sample numbers) unvaccinated did far worse than vaccinated. Antivaxxers will do anything to avoid the truth, and will pivot away from these facts by bringing up all manner of completely irrelevant claims.

>Variant-specific HRs of hospital admission (A), any hospital attendance, including admission (B), or any hospital attendance, including admission or positive test during hospital stay (C), by type of vaccine used for doses 1 and 2, number of vaccine doses, and time since last dose, relative to unvaccinated cases. These HRs can be interpreted as 1 – vaccine effectiveness at preventing hospitalisation conditional upon diagnosed infection. Booster doses were Pfizer–BioNTech or Moderna (not disaggregated). HR=hazard ratio. *Due to small numbers, all cases who had received a single dose of the Oxford–AstraZeneca vaccine were grouped together and not separated by time since vaccine dose.
