They were designed around the original virus, but delta and this are similar enough that the vaccines still greatly reduce the odds of severe disease even if they don't prevent symptoms outright.

Why is it that he can hit a 3rd baseman on a frozen rope from 300 feet away, but he can't hit a 12 foot tall catcher from 60 feet 6 inches away?

The vaccines are indeed based off the original strain, but they're still very effective against Delta. Slightly less effective at preventing transmission or mild illness; still very, very good at preventing against severe illness and death. Most importantly, far more effective than not having any protection.
