I agree with this.

I'll also note that the vaccines haven't proven to be particularly effective at stopping the spread of COVID. You have places like Vermont with high vaccination rates and high case counts. A recent paper apparently found that: "Increases in COVID-19 are unrelated to levels of vaccination across 68 countries and 2947 counties in the United States."

The paper's author isn't suggesting that people shouldn't take the vaccine. Neither am I. I am only pointing out that the idea that increased vaccination means lower case counts hasn't played out.
