If something has a 94% effectiveness rate...blah blah blah
You're familiar with the phrase "garbage in, garbage out", right?
Initially one would think trials would be a good indicator. But then concerns arose...was the process rushed?...was it biased?...were the pharmaceutical companies being honest?...who's profiting off the vaccines?, and how much?...are there known or unknown factors that have not been factored in?...etc. But then rather than addressing these legitimate concerns, you (as well as many others) turn the discussion into a political one. How does that help anyone?
Perhaps instead of clinging on to your beliefs and claiming "science", you could keep up with the current science and address...
...in a report released from the Ministry of Health in Israel, the effectiveness of 2 doses of the BNT162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech) vaccine against preventing COVID-19 infection was reported to be 39% [6], substantially lower than the trial efficacy of 96% [7].
...rather than to continue to push numbers that have clearly been shown to be faulty.

*USA numbers.
How many lives have coronavirus vaccines saved?
... vaccines saved 140,000 lives by May 9, 2021.
Great. Not quite the 32-40% of US covid deaths that could have been prevented by having universal healthcare...

Where is your outrage over the lack of M4A?
And just to really jam a wrench in the gears...
Remember it was Trump that threw shit loads of $$ into vaccine R&D, fast tracked the approval process, initiated the idea of mandates, and provided universal healthcare for covid testing and treatment. Despite the fact he was a poor president, he didn't get
everything wrong.
