Of course it isn't. In highly vaccinated countries like Ireland (89.1%) the virus is spreading and the bar for "herd immunity" has been raised to 95%.

The daily death rate is the same as last year:

Gibraltar has 100% vaccination rate (for the eligible) and cases are sharply rising.

Unrelated to the issue of stigmatization, the obligatory reminder that Sweden's Covid-19 policies, while they resulted in a slightly higher cumulative death rate (1,468 per million vs 1,187 per million), are now producing excellent results, and the death rates are converging:
