The rise in infections but not deaths would imply the vaccines are working, would you agree?

Depends how you define a vaccine resistant mutation. Plenty of concerns remain over Brazil, B.1617.1 and the South African variant. Any of those, or further mutations, could have significant impacts going forward.
Are you sure you mean “I’ll take my chances” and not that you are content for others to do so, as we discussed your
privileged situation you are barely impacted by Covid restrictions at all.
As I explained earlier to Papa portraying vaccines in such a binary fashion is unhelpful. A 10% efficacy vaccine could be described as “working” but equally barely touch the sides of the pandemic. Anything else is playing with fire.
Israel have shown what is possible - cases in the tens, Indian variant barely making a dent. While we have a larger population there’s no reason why cases in the small hundreds shouldn’t be both achievable and sustainable.
