Clicked through and found quotes of Fauci saying “highly effective” and “extraordinarily effective”. Not 100%

Note that these quotes are in context of the US and Fauci’s publicly announced plan to approve, as part of Operation Warp Speed, vaccines that were at least 50% effective.[1]

The vaccines proving to be 80-90% effective in that context certainly makes it reasonable to call them highly effective.

"94 to 95 percent"
Now do Joe Rogan and Alex Jones...
