@Dee Richardz do you honestly expect a miracle for a vaccine to be effective for everyone?
What percentage of kids who get the MMR vaccine go on to develop a case of measles, mumps, or Rubella? What percentage of people who get the Meningitis vaccine go on to develop a case of Meningitis? What percentage of people who get the Hepatitis vaccine go on to develop a case of Hepatitis? What percentage of people who get the Yellow Fever vaccine end up contracting Yellow Fever?
The point of a vaccine is to prevent the recipient from contracting that disease.
How do the COVID vaccines compare in this regard to the many other vaccines for other diseases? This is the question that should be answered by using comparative data.
The data from Iceland and the U.K. show that the COVID vaccines are failing at preventing infection in vaccinated people.
According to U.K. Technical Briefing 20, of 268,111 cases of the Delta variant:
56.33% were unvaccinated individuals (151,052/268,111)
26.14% were partially vaccinated individuals (70,106/268,111)
17.53% were fully vaccinated individuals (47,008/268,111)
According to Iceland's official data, over the 18 days spanning July 19th through Aug. 5th, the country reported 1,765 cases of COVID:
28.90% were unvaccinated individuals (510/1,765)
2.44% were partially vaccinated individuals (43/1,765)
68.67% were fully vaccinated individuals (1,212/1,765)
Note that Iceland has a small population (~343,000), which means 1,765 cases is 0.51% of the population. That would be the equivalent of about 193,000 cases in Canada (37.6 million population).

@icarus9609 What do you make of this Public Health Agency of Canada data published August 6th?
Hospitalization and fatality rate by vaccination status in Canada through July 17th:
Hospitalization Rate
5.06% = unvaccinated (27,941 hospitalizations out of 552,668 cases)
7.47% = not yet protected (2,446/32,715)
8.17% = partially protected (2,327/28,484)
7.73% = fully protected (241/3,119)
Fatality Rate
1.07% = unvaccinated (5,896 deaths out of 552,668 cases)
1.94% = not yet protected (636/32,715)
1.97% = partially protected (561/28,484)
2.85% = fully protected (89/3,119)
Definitions:
Not yet protected = <14 days after 1st dose
Partially protected = 14+ days after 1st dose to <14 days after 2nd dose
Fully protected = 14+ days after 2nd dose
See "Table 2. Characteristics and severe outcomes associated unvaccinated, partially vaccinated and fully vaccinated confirmed cases reported to PHAC, as of July 17, 2021".

2.85% = fully protected (89/3,119)
Well, isn't that strange? The unvaccinated have the lowest rate of the four groups for both hospitalizations and fatalities.
Definitions:
Not yet protected = <14 days after 1st dose
Partially protected = 14+ days after 1st dose to <14 days after 2nd dose
Fully protected = 14+ days after 2nd dose
See "Table 2. Characteristics and severe outcomes associated unvaccinated, partially vaccinated and fully vaccinated confirmed cases reported to PHAC, as of July 17, 2021".
