All countries or states that had initial comparatively high fatalities like Sweden, Italy, Portugal, New York, Florida are doing relatively well now regardless of vaccination status. A possible cause is that there are fewer vulnerable people left. Even if the vaccine does help against severe cases, it does not stop the spread, so being vaccinated should be an individual choice and not forced like in Austria. That is why a closer look at highly vaccinated countries is in order, everything else is unscientific.
