While this is very likely true, this has not been conclusively studied.

Only certain variants have been studied against certain vaccines.

And for every single study of every single variant that has been studied, the vaccine in the study significantly reduces the incidence of severe cases of COVID-19 among the trial group. There is not a single study covering any variant for which this is not the case.

Yes we have obviously not tested every combination of vaccine and SARS-CoV-2 variant. But so far, the evidence that we have supports the working assumption that all vaccines drastically reduce, or in some cases eliminate entirely severe COVID-19 symptoms.

> we have obviously not tested every combination...

I mean, for transparency, we've only tested a very very small subset of the combinations, so it's not very indicative of anything.
