What they are doing is comparing figures with last week, last month, etc. Where the metrics are going up across the board.

Vaccinations don’t make figures from last week incomparable with this week, or last month with this month. The numbers of additional people benefitting from vaccination in that time is negligible, and more likely to be among age groups highly unlikely to be hospitalised or die anyway.
So far, the metrics relating to hospitals show a slight upward fluctuation, but nothing to worry about yet. That is set to decline again from a news report I heard recently, and if that happens, there is no need to panic.

If the graphs start to show signs of going steadily upwards, we may need to consider the position again, but until or unless that happens, no further restrictions are necessary.

By the way, that’s what the government and Whitty think as well, so that’s good enough for most people.
