The downvotes are coming because you've told us that cases are skyrocketing but the deaths are the same as they were last year, when cases were not skyrocketing. This shows that the vaccine is doing its job. Deaths Nov 2020: 6.57 Nov 2021: 6.14 Cases Nov 2020: 386.14 Nov 2021: 894.86 So over 2x the cases, and yet lower death rate. I'm not sure what Ireland is like but if it's anything like where I'm from, people are out and about more this year so more cases are expected. But a lower death rate with 2x more cases seems like an unambiguous win for the vaccine to me. You've said cases are exploding in Gibraltar, but no one has died there since October 15 due to Covid. Since they became highly vaccinated, only 4 people have died in total in Gibraltar. Almost 100 died last winter before vaccinations were distributed. Then the vaccine became available and they all got vaccinated. Now only 4 have died despite a huge outbreak. Again, seems like a huge win for the vaccine.
