The issue I have with all of this is that your argument is still based on misinformation - for example,
1) the cohort data is still there on SPKC's site, its just in relative terms now not in absolute (this was the big thing I was trying to argue last winter - the absolute data can become misleading once there are more vaccinated people compared to the unvaccinated) - see the infographic "Vakcinācijas pret Covid-19 ietekme uz saslimstību ar Covid-19...." here [https://www.spkc.gov.lv/lv/covid-19-st
2) when you look at the data you see that the relative numbers haven't really changed at all from what they were last winter once one did the math - if you are vaccinated you are a) 3x less likely to get it, b) 10x less likely to be hospitalized and c) 15x less likely to die from it.
I have not looked into the UK data lately, but I doubt there is anything nefarious going on there either. I did quite a bit of looking into these things last winter and rumor after rumor it all turned out to be based on faulty interpretations of data (I know, I know, I'm no authority!).
What has changed is that we have reached some sort of broad immunity (mostly because most of us have already had it at least once) and so the infection numbers just aren't high enough to warrant such drastic measures anymore. (Not denying that some of the measures were probably not effective to begin with - like the bans on public gathering, for example). It's just that simple imo.
