Could the vaccines work?

 Could the vaccines work? 

The media is all about vaccination. Whenever they talk about the vaccines, however, politically speaking, it only means one thing; no mask mandate. 

President Biden insisted before the election that he would mandate masks for at least 100 days. Then he changed his course. He said after the inauguration, he would rally on wearing masks. That is, a mask campaign. 

Now he is not even talking about any sort of campaign anymore. The weather is getting warmer and the businesses start opening up. The number of cases is going up and he talks about vaccines. 

Could the vaccines work? 

Anywhere around the globe the nations with high vaccination rates, initially the cases go up then go for a lockdown. Israel for instance started vaccination and the Netanyahu government takes the credit, which somewhat worked in getting him the votes. Right after the vaccination campaign started, the number went up. The nation went for a lockdown. Now the number is going down. Is this the effects of the vaccines? 

The funny thing is that the number is now lower than before the election. The funnier thing is the excess death figure is higher now as the nation opened up the economy. The official figure is deceiving; does it mean the vaccines do not work? Do they still work but not as much? 

How could possibly the vaccine ever work?
