There’s tons of evidence they reduce your chances of getting it at all, that’s kind of the entire point. I’m on mobile at the moment so not going to go collect a mountain of evidence but it’s a search away to find tons of research on any of the vaccines.
The average rate of protection against contracting COVID-19 for the 4 current vaccines is somewhere around 90%, average flu shot is between 40-60%. I agree that more time and data is need to know the long term effects, which is why I haven’t gotten it myself yet (I’m also young, pretty healthy, and already had COVID-19).
Also, influenza is NOT a coronavirus. Saying it is, is pretty ignorant. The flu is an influenza virus — come on I really hope you know this. SARS-CoV-2 is a coronavirus.
You see huge spikes in areas with “high” (don’t know what you mean by that) vaccination rates because the tests test for SARS-CoV-2, NOT COVID-19. They’re two completely different things. The vaccines don’t reduce your chances of contracting SARS-CoV-2 by much if at all, it reduces your chance of contracting COVID-19 if you contract SARS-CoV-2. So with people getting vaccinated in “high” rates, more people are resuming close contact and resulting in higher positive test rates.
