Last I checked reducing infection, illness, hospitalization, and death equates working. What would be required for you to think the vaccine works?

The only way to declare that infection yields powerful immunity would be to study it. Can you point me to the studies? I have seen some but interested in what you have seen.
After people recover from infection with a virus, the immune system retains a memory of it. Immune cells and proteins that circulate in the body can recognize and kill the pathogen if it’s encountered again, protecting against disease and reducing illness severity. This long-term immune protection involves several components. Antibodies—proteins that circulate in the blood—recognize foreign substances like viruses and neutralize them. Different types of T cells help recognize and kill pathogens. B cells make new antibodies when the body needs them. All of these immune-system components have been found in people who recover from SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. But the details of this immune response and how long it lasts after infection have been unclear. Scattered reports of reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 have raised concerns that the immune response to the virus might not be durable.

Me too. Which is why it's important for us to note that it's not working, hence, my previous comment.

Over 80% are fully vaccinated. So 20% of the population has 50% of the infections, and 33% of serious illness. If we looked at higher ages, we would find even greater vaccination percentages, and a much bigger increase in risk of not being vaccinated.

Except it is. Vaccination yields reduced risk for infection, reduced serious illness, and reduced chance of death. If you think it's not working please post the data that proves this.
Right now we have the data that shows the 20% unvaccinated population have 50% of the infections and 40% of serious illness and death. That does not account for the fact 'unvaccinated' could mean prior covid infection. We only have the data we have unfortunately, the full data would show anyone unvaccinated and without a previous infection is at a huge risk vs those who were vaccinated/previously ill.

Fictitious? Please point out what part of my post is incorrect, and then correct it.
If we looked at higher ages, we would find even greater vaccination percentages, and a much bigger increase in risk of not being vaccinated.
According to data from the county, over 25% of new COVID-19 cases in Los Angeles County are from fully vaccinated people.
"Over the period of July 1 through July 16... There were 13,598 cases diagnosed in LA County and unvaccinated people represented 74% of all of the cases, fully vaccinated people represented 26% or 3,592 of the cases," Ferrer stated.
