Let's look at some case counts for states with high vaccination rates.
New Hampshire has given at least one dose to 84.9% of its population.
New Hampshire has given at least one dose to 84.9% of its population.
Vermont has given at least one dose to 65.2% of its population.
Massachusetts has given at least one dose to 62.4% of its population.
Hawaii has given at least one dose to 60.9% of its population.
New Jersey has given at least one dose to 56.1% of its population.
Pennsylvania has given at least one dose to 54.6% of its population.
California has given at least one shot to 53.1% of its population.
And New York has given at least one shot to 51.8% of its population.
Of all of these, the only really worrying result is Hawaii, which has given 60.9% of is population at least one shot, but hasn't seen cases start to trend steadily downward yet.
I wonder why. Low levels of acquired immunity? Pockets of unvaxed people partying?

Washington is also...not amazing? 51.9% first-shot vaccination rate, but at best you can see the very beginning of a downtrend.
Anyway, the upshot here is that vaccines do work, but the game isn't over once you hit 50%. Antivaxers hoping to free-ride on other people should think again, and go get their shots.
