My extended family had a slightly different experience.  A couple of us
stayed up to date on our shots *and* also continued to take the other
precautions.  Knock on wood, we still have not had it.  The others got
their shots, spent a lot more time belittling those who didn't, and also
seemed to think the shots meant they could let their guard down.  They did
things like travel by plane and intentionally putting themselves into other
social situations where distancing would not be observed or even possible.
They all got COVID.

I think the shots work, provided that you also stay smart about things.
