The Yale/Harvard/Stanford team at https://covidestim.org estimates that R has receded under 1 for most states / counties. Much better than a month ago. This is a good indication we are past peak delta. The medical system was stretched in places, but held. While the vaccines help keep the pandemic under control and the human cost bearable, it doesn't follow that we need 100% vaccination rate for community protection.
Maybe against community spread of infection.
The protection vaccines provide against overloaded hospitals, tragic avoidable deaths and paralysing additional lockdowns and mask policies is clear, though.
