we know the new variants are more contagious than what we had last year, if the vaccines didn't limit growth we should see a steeper curve, I believe.

How do you account for prior immunity as well as the "pool" of people that would show up as a case going down as well?

Both those factors would result in a softer curve without any vaccination.
