>All these countries are following similar pattern - not all countries follow the same, uploading the example of the UK in the next post -, I'm not sure what is exactly that makes it similar (for Austria, Hungary, and Romania it makes sense, we are in about the same region, with similar climate conditions, similar economies, similar social circumstances, etc.)

Covid is seasonal, as flu or similar viruses, so autumn-winter peaks are ok. Considering that vaccination doesn't prevent catching virus, it isn't surprising that there will be similarity for all countries that share similar weather.

There are plenty of problems with such comparisons though. Countries with different healthcare systems may have different statistical deviations from "real" situation. Austrians may do tests on every occasion because they are autists like Germans, and Romanians may ignore everything because they don't care. So real number of Romanian cases may be higher. Or not. Maybe countries that have population who ignore lockdowns already have better collective immunity from last wave that acts same as vaccination rate. Even death rate is not really a good measurement, because it is heavily related to healthcare quality.
