some data, from
Post-Vaccine COVID-19 Cases ...
first, California has about 40 million total population. about 50% of that has been fully vaccinated although the rate of vaccination has definitely slowed down, we have our fair share of deniers and wobblers too.
out of the 20.7 million fully vaccinated, only 14365 total post-vaccination cases have been identified, thats 0.069%. of those, 843 needed hospitalization, but A) possibly 30% cases are missing hospitalization data, and B) the hospitalization may have been for something other than Covid19 but it was tested for upon admission and discovered.
Of those, 88 people are known to have died. its not clear if they died from Covid or from something else. regardless, thats 88 out of 14000 out of 20 million.
meanwhile, they are running an average of around 950 new cases/DAY state-wide this past few weeks, the vast majority are from the unvaccinated 50%.
statewide, as of a few days ago, California has had a total of 3.8 million COVID cases, and 63276 deaths, which is a mortality rate of 1.67%. Nationally, the mortality rate of those who catch it is 1.8%. 3.8 million cases is nearly 10% of the
TOTAL POPULATION.... this thing is contagious as all getout, and the Delta variant thats now erupting is even more so.
some more numbers here on a general news site, admittedly without hard references,
Despite the ongoing presence of the highly infectious Delta variant of COVID-19, and an average of 950 new daily cases around the state in the last several weeks, so-called "breakthrough" cases of the disease in vaccinated Californians continue to be very rare.

and I know, 'The Atlantic' is probably the EPITOME of left-slanted liberal news/opinion in all you all's eyes, but this article summarizes a bunch of recent data better than any I've found.
For America as a whole, the pandemic might be fading. For some communities, this year will be worse than last.
