The data does not at all imply that something is wrong or that we need to do more than is already being done. Vaccines are not 100% effective and we were never going to prevent infections entirely. The only real issue here is that way too many people are refusing to get vaccinated so that infections are still having a large impact on the population as a whole. Among people who are vaccinated, severe complications from COVID are extremely rare.
People need to stop thinking about COVID as a disease like polio that we can relatively easily eradicate, and more like a bad flu that we simply coexist with even though annual vaccines are widely available.
