That is well known. If you read the research papers all vaccines only claim a reduction of hospitalization. IIRC both mRNA vaccines have a 80%-90% reduction of hospitalization if double blind randomized controlled trials. For me, it looks like a good outcome and a good test method.
No that was masking, social distancing and lockdowns. By the time the vaccines rolled out the threat of hospital strain was gone and we were told it was to save grandma, if you weren't concerned with it. Workplaces mandated it "to protect our workers". Every single political leader and public health official claimed the vaccines would reduce transmission. Now we know they were all lying when they said that.
