the most vulnerable proportion of the population participated in a widespread vaccination campaign

It looks like about 425k men were fully vaccinated, and another 250k got a single vaccine. That's not amazing compliance if you assume the vulnerable population is somewhere in the 3-16 million range.

The subset of gay men having unprotected sex with many partners is significantly smaller than the total population of gay men (about 7 million in the US).
