I don't know what's misleading for you. Even if the stats of death was taken until today (october) it wouldn't make any difference. Have a look at deaths chart: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/uk/ https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/uk/ In january daily deaths peaked at ~1800 and in looks like summer wave peaked at ~190 in september. Also in january daily detected infection peaked at ~67k then in july peaked at ~54k and currently is at around ~43k. So even if detected daily number of cases was not much lower than in january comparing to june that's ~10x reduction of deaths. It's hard to argue that at least there is correlation that increased number of vaccines among population reduced deaths. So even if vaccines maybe won't prevent you from catching the virus it reduces risk of death at least 10x fold. That's enough good benefit for me to get vaccinated.
