Unless there are still unknown side effects from the vaccine, countries that are vaccinating quickly are the comeback kids and the first to taste what a world without Covid could be again.
There was another day during summer last year after extreme lockdown when there was also only one death. However, summer is just starting now.
Some people have been infected despite having the vaccine, but most of these were before immunity developed after 3 weeks following the jab. Others were mostly very old.
The vaccine reduces the chance of being infected, as well as reducing transmission to others if you did get infected. That is in addition to reducing the effects of being infected.
More cases will be asymptomatic or reduce hospital cases, and deaths.
