Take a look at https://www.regionofwaterloo.ca/en/healt...egion.aspx# . The variant cases fall off a cliff in late May.
What happened? Original Covid started suddenly out competing B117? No way. The current variant testing doesn't catch Delta, so that's the signal of a huge Delta variant spike.
We may just have had the bad luck of being ground zero for Delta variant in Ontario. I can't find a comparative graph for other regions, but given what we know about one dose of vaccine not being very effective against symptomatic Delta, it would explain the numbers we're seeing without it being a poor rollout.
