It spreads exponentially, basic maths.
That's why more people have it.

When 85% of a country's population is vaccinated, and the jabs 'work' then we could still see an increase of infections, since the vaccinated can still be infected (your basic math if the virus indeed spreads exponentially) but we should see a decrease in hospitalizations and deaths, not twice and triple numbers of what we had when no one was vaccinated. That is not logical and basic math.

Basic science says that viruses become less deadly over time.

They will say the case numbers are higher due to the unvaxxed spreading the delta variant to which the vaxx does not offer good enough immunity to.
Many will believe that statement, sadly.

Nonsense. We wouldn't be still vaccinating against other diseases if that were true.

I think you are right.
My partner just looked at these numbers and was completely silent for a while.
Then he said he believed that we will not see the big spike in October like we did last year. He thinks we won't be hit by a 4th wave... because of the vaccines.
(but I think deep down he knows that this will not be the case)

Have you taken into account countries that have relaxed lock down measures? That could also contribute to rises.
I have no idea what measures were and are used in Belgium.
