One the big reasons for that reduction in hospitalizations and deaths is that we're treating it differently than we were in 2020. The only people we admit now are on their deathbed with multiple comorbidities. Before, everybody who showed up with any symptoms of anything got intubated and pumped full of enough remdesivir to put a bison into kidney failure. That's not even accounting for increased rates of natural immunity and fewer "at risk" individuals in the population.
The only objective, identifiable things that the vaccine has changed is the definition of everything surrounding it.
Even if the corporate propaganda is accurate, and the vaccine is responsible for the statistical "reduction in severity," I would question if it was worth the cost. We're looking at global apartied, left wing fascism, multiple nations on the verge of civil war; even the US government is tacitly advocating for vaxxed on unvaxxed violence.
