I have the following code using a MongoClient getting called twice:

async function readWhileRunning(dbName, collectionName, query, projection) {

    const collection = await getCollection(dbName, collectionName);

    console.log("Here3")

    return await collection.find(query, projection).toArray();
}

async function getCollection(dbName, collectionName) {

    console.log("Here1")

    const db = client.db(dbName);

    console.log("Here2")

    return db.collection(collectionName);
}

For some reason it produces the following output (alongside an empty array of database records):

Here1
Here2
Here1
Here2
Here3
Here3

Looks like db.collection(collectionName) refuses to run before everything else is done. I specified every function as async and every call with await. What am I doing wrong?
