The vaccines were never designed to make the virus disappear. Who are these people you keep referring to? And even if it did, there are enough people not taking it to render that plan ineffective.
Numbers will increase here simply because they are now opening everything up and telling people you don't have to wear masks anymore. It's a direct causality. But hey, at least people are free to do what they want to do. I can't speak of what other countries are doing, there are 200+ of them all doing things their own way.
Things have clearly improved but it's obvious that here at least the decision has been made to try to live with it, let the vaccines do what they do, and in another few months the figures will either be manageable or not.
