That's already happening here - our death rate stopped following the infection rate as soon as the oldest age groups got their shots. See how the red line isn't shadowing the blue line anymore?
BUT...that's not the magic bullet that everyone thought it would be. People are still ending up infected, and in the hospital....they might be dying less, but that doesn't mean the hospitals aren't getting overrun with people who need care.
It sure as hell may stop it from happening again.
End stage students, perhaps, but you can't just take someone who's in charge of life or death situations but hasn't completed the training to safely do some of the things that involve such and expect it to go well. Nurses do a lot more than most people realize.
We're about to pass them in per capita.
Sad considering how well we *were* doing for the last 12 months comparatively, only to blow it in the home stretch because of a combination of slow vaccine rollout (possibly low, but some, effect) and a rush to reopen - likely the majority of effect.
