1) The Sinovac vaccine isn't very good. A doctor claims that 10% of fully-vaccinated people, when they get Covid, will end up in ICU. That is contrary to every claim about the vaccines used in North America.
2) Seasonal problems and people no longer social distancing.
3) Even 75% of first-dose vaccinated population is not enough to get herd immunity with the Brazil variant of Covid. Their numbers show that most people getting sick are not vaccinated (about 3/4).
What do you think, why exactly is SinoVac less effective than other COVID-19 vaccines? Having survived COVID-19 provides little immunity because COVID-19 attacks lymph nodes and prevents the production of antibodies. But SinoVac does not attack lymph nodes, right? Besides, as far as I know, there is no evidence SinoVac produces fewer antibodies.
Also, what do you think, is it possible that the vast majority of the people who supposedly died from COVID-19 after getting vaccinated actually have their deaths misattributed to COVID-19? It is usually assumed that a person who died with COVID-19 died from it. That has never been true, and is much less true for vaccinated people. Furthermore, the Chilean (the country which is supposed to both have a high vaccination rate and high COVID-19 mortality rate) overall mortality rate is actually record low for this time of the year.
