That's the "Vaccines are no good because they aren't 100% perfect" argument. It ignores the fact that they do a good job of decreasing the load on the healthcare system so people with regular problems have a better chance of getting the care they need. See the first link below.
The benefits are crystal clear in terms of the load on the healthcare system. Unvaccinated people are represented in the hospitals in far greater numbers - proportionally - than vaccinated people. Take Ontario, for example: https://covid-19.ontario.ca/data
The virus is a detriment for people too. It kills one out of every fifty people who test positive for it (https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/) and does long-term and occasionally permanent damage to some who survive (https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/journal.pmed.1003773).
"The known risks of COVID-19 illness (including complications like myocarditis/pericarditis) outweigh the potential harms of having an adverse reaction following mRNA vaccination" (https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/immunization/national-advisory-committee-on-immunization-naci/rapid-response-recommendation-use-covid-19-vaccines-individuals-aged-12-years-older-myocarditis-pericarditis-reported-following-mrna-vaccines.html)
There is no way to escape a global pandemic, but vaccines offer a chance to reduce the overall risk.
But you haven't bothered to check.
From 2009. You have not made any connection between this study on mice and our situation with covid in 2021.
For the last several posts all you have been saying is "Maybe they're wrong".
Do better.
