So, evidence and data is slowly dribbling in about the efficacy of the current crop of Coronavirus vaccines. In one of the most up to date papers (see summary here) the conclusion is that the mRNA vaccines (i.e. Pfizer et al) do indeed provide high levels of protection but surprisingly these levels of protection can exceed those acquired through natural infection and recovery. The sentence "Polyclonal antibody responses in vaccinees were robust and comparable to or exceeded those seen after natural infection." in the paper summary, outlines this conclusion, this is an amazing result! A fantastic achievement for a relatively new medical technology (mRNA vaccine) and just goes to show what we can achieve when our species collaborates around common objective goals rather than splintering apart over unfalsifiable nonsense and conspiracy theories. All those anti-vaxxers out there should hang their heads in shame, and perhaps have a little more faith in their fellow Humans rather than self interest or imaginary friends.
