In order to compare properly. You have to build in a +/-3 week lag into the new cases before you would expect them to result in death.
Nevertheless, it still shows astounding effectiveness. We could be done with this thing if people would just get it.

So it needs even more lag built in. That said, I don't THINK deaths have come close to earlier in the pandemic. But this chart is unfortunately junk.

Showing June 23 for deaths, July 6 for cases.

Dates match and the trend holds.
