Did you miss the 'compared to the Alpha variant' part?
It's saying that if you are vaccinated, the protection from infection is greater against the Alpha variant than against any of the other enumerated variants. That does not mean that vaccinated individuals are at greater risk from these variants than the unvaccinated (though the statements do not necessarily preclude that).

Then the authors should say vaccines provide lesser immunity against variants compared to alpha, vs "increased risk."
I reread it a few times and I think you're right. It's very badly worded, but I probably misread it. Just pulling the post altogether.
