You are one of the few who is not fixating on death count alone, in terms of breakthrough infections. There is a multiplicity of other adverse effects that come come from a non lethal COVID case, and some of those are likely permanent.

The classic one so far is AstraZeneca versus Beta (10.4% efficacy), but here are other pairings that are also far from ideal in terms of staving off infections and/or mitigation of the severity of the symptoms.
