US COVID-19 vaccination fell off a cliff in 2022, down 90% from 2021, while confirmed deaths fell by 44% overall

 Just 24.3 million received at least one dose in 2022 through Dec 27.

244.06 million had received at least one dose through 12/31/21.

Per Our World In Data, here.

About 19 million in 2022 received what amounts to the two-dose protocol.

Confirmed deaths in 2022 fell to about 264k from 475k in 2021 at the same time that vaccination fell off the cliff (724 deaths per day vs. 1301 deaths per day).

And in the second half of 2022 about only 70k have died (roughly 385 per day vs. 1066 per day in the first half of 2022). That's still 3.85 times worse than for an average influenza year, but that's a win in my book at this stage of the game.
