The paper work for people getting the vaccine does not use the word experimental, which is what you claimed.

EUA =/= experimental.

The vaccines stopped being experimental when people outside of the trials started taking them.

Pfizer has filed for full FDA approval.

People are also developing immunity currently the old fashioned way - just by getting the virus and then recovering from it. This virus is extremely virulent, although not really very dangerous for most people. It has almost certainly spread farther and made contact with a lot more people than is currently known.

So we are not dependent on this "vaccine" to build herd immunity, any more than we have been during the countless other confrontations between humans and various diseases that have occurred over the millennia.
Getting immunity "the old fashioned way" is what is happening in India right now.

They are burning corpses in the street.

Maybe not cases, but hospitalizations and deaths. Cases are rising since we still have so many not vaccinated. And as many of the high risks have been vaccinated, the lower risks are the bulk of those new cases. So cases might be up, but deaths not. And we may complete the Pandemic in this manner despite many not getting vaccinated.

India has been doing that for centuries for all types of reasons that cause people to die.

Their case level right now is less than the USA's at it's highest peak, per capita.

Therefore since they don't build up the immunity, they aren't really helpful and they aren't really vaccinations!

Well if they aren't really vaccinations, then what are they???

Wow, the so called conspiracy theorists have been right, from the very beginning!

Hospitalizations and deaths were going to slow regardless. An understanding of history, viruses and past pandemics tells a lot. We were never really in the dark as to how things would play out even without a vaccine. We are seeing waves which will once again peak and fall and each time, the death rates will get lower and lower.

What's unsure is the long term side effects.

Also: MANY people don't view the virus as a big threat. That's why many won't get vaccinated.

I don't and never have viewed it as a threat and didn't fall for the media freakout to get Trump out of office.

It's just not a big deal for most of the country. If I were over 75 and in poor health, I'd probably get it.

Has nothing to do with being "Anti Vax"
In the meantime:

Doctors in Maine reports high ICU load from unvaccinated middle-aged patients. There was a similar report from Alaska not long ago.

“The good news is that we are seeing vaccinations work in the older populations that have been vaccinated – they’re not in the hospital or becoming critically ill,” Boomsma said. “But there does seem to be a higher percentage of younger age groups that are getting very sick, and that could be because the new variants are more virulent.”

They do not usually have so many dead people that their mortuary services cannot keep up and have to burn bodies in the street.

Right now they are contributing to almost half the world total of daily cases.

Vaccines do not "tear down people's immunities".

The vaccines have been convincingly shown to be highly effective in preventing infection. They are not 100% effective, so, yes, some vaccinated people are getting infected. Most are not.

They are vaccines.

Maine has the highest vaccine rate out of all states.

From your link:

"None of those in the ICUs of the 25 member hospitals of the three networks had been fully vaccinated, and senior doctors from the three networks were unaware of any having been admitted to their hospitals at all, though a handful of partially vaccinated people had.

'A lot of people are getting their first dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine and then are not coming back for the second one,' Teng said. 'I can tell you with certainty that one dose of either will not be nearly as protective against severe illness as for those who complete their vaccinations.'”
