That's kind of a dumb question folks. Efficacy is "Power or capacity to produce a desired effect; effectiveness." https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=efficacy+definition&ia=definition
The desired result was reducing harm from the virus. Pfizer's vaccine does that: "When Pfizer-BioNTech applied for FDA authorization for its vaccine in December 2020, its initial Phase 3 clinical data surpassed expectations with 95% efficacy, based on an independent analysis by the FDA. But data on real-world effectiveness for adults shows that the protection from the mRNA two-dose primary series wanes over time; however, a booster dose (for those who are eligible) brings the immune system back to robust levels."

It seems to me like people read too far into the vaccine and made assumptions and just rolled with them.
The only people claiming it granted immunity were politicians, health ministers etc. Even while the vaccine was being developed, back in the first few months, I recall reading that it was to be what was called a "leaky vaccine" in that it did not prevent transmission - but there was probably some buyer's remorse and political figureheads couldn't just say what you were saying because most people wouldn't understand that.
You left out the subject matter experts who all agreed it reduced the damage from the virus.
Who? An infectious disease specialist? Or an Alex Jones who wanted to sell you some powders?
Immunologists went with this. It's not complicated. Vaccine and treatment leakage is credited with giving us patient zero for omicron in South Africa. An immunocompromised person whose system just couldn't purge the remaining reservoirs of virus after treatment with monoclonal antibodies. Natural selection being what it is, we got what we got.
Do you not recall the many Marek's allegories or are you just gaslighting?
Folks, why would anyone believe any of this? There's not a single link to back up anything claimed.
