You are correct, to the extent I investigated they is no hard evidence for _any_ vaccine working. Somehow things are manipulated to give the appearance of it being effective. Example: In the Pfizer COVID vaccine trials both placebo and vaccine groups fell ill at the same rate, however since the placebo group group showed more COVID positives in the PCR test ( a dubious test), they arrived at the 95% effectiveness rate. The way 95% was calculated is also a complete travesty of commonsense. At this point I'm not even sure if any data is real, or completely made up. If I recollect in flu vaccine trails they check for antibodies in the participants, not actual incidence of the flu.
