The terms of the EUA do though.
FACT SHEET FOR RECIPIENTS AND CAREGIVERS EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZATION (EUA) OF THE PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE TO PREVENT CORONAVIRUS DISEASE 2019 (COVID-19) IN INDIVIDUALS 12 YEARS OF AGE AND OLDER...
WHAT IS AN EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZATION (EUA)? The United States FDA has made the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine available under an emergency access mechanism called an EUA. The EUA is supported by a Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) declaration that circumstances exist to justify the emergency use of drugs and biological products during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine has not undergone the same type of review as an FDA-approved or cleared product. FDA may issue an EUA when certain criteria are met, which includes that there are no adequate, approved, available alternatives. In addition, the FDA decision is based on the totality of scientific evidence available showing that the product may be effective to prevent COVID-19 during the COVID-19 pandemic and that the known and potential benefits of the product outweigh the known and potential risks of the product. All of these criteria must be met to allow for the product to be used in the treatment of patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The EUA for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine is in effect for the duration of the COVID-19 EUA declaration justifying emergency use of these products, unless terminated or revoked (after which the products may no longer be used).
Moderna's EUA:
"Having concluded that the criteria for issuance of this authorization under Section 564(c) of the Act are met, I am authorizing the emergency use of Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine for the prevention of COVID-19"
Janssens's EUA:
"On February 27, 2021, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for emergency use of the Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine for the prevention of COVID-19 for individuals 18 years of age and older pursuant to Section 564 of the Act."
Regarding this story here, there was a 90+% failure rate for the vaccine(s) to "prevent" COVID.
Now, of course, this is a single story. However, there is growing evidence being "leaked" through the governments firewall, that these "breakthrough" cases of fully vaccinated people getting COVID are increasing.
If this were about legitimate science...and not political science, those EUA's would be "revoked."
And, as for the UK:
“The JCVI (Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation) is not currently advising routine vaccination of children outside of these groups (w/underlying health conditions), based on the current evidence.
As evidence shows that COVID-19 rarely causes severe disease in children without underlying health conditions, at this time the JCVI’s view is that the minimal health benefits of offering universal COVID-19 vaccination to children do not outweigh the potential risks.”

A story here, by PBS:
I do agree, there are clearly a lot of “breakthrough cases” or whatever you want to call them. So much so that the NIH is telling labs to run fewer cycle counts among the vaccinated tests compared to the unvaccinated. They should be using the same protocol for both to get a real idea of what’s happening out there.
In the ideal world of hopes and dreams, these vaccines will prevent serious illness or death and have no long term after effects.
There is frankly too much information to keep track of, and kind of annoying when so called experts won’t just admit “I don’t know” instead of pretending to be omniscient.
But I’ve read and repeated that in the UK they Delta variant is very prevalent and that 40% of hospitalized are double-jabbed. Now it could be that their AstraZeneca vaccine isn’t very effective against Delta. Who’s to know for sure at this point. I am operating under the assumption that “the powers the be” have basically conceded, without saying it outright, that they fully expect nearly everyone to catch Covid at some point. They couch it in nice terms “prevent covid” but I don’t think that was ever the reality. Vaccines in general don’t prevent anything, they just train the body so the immune systems is ready to attack the virus quickly, and thus minimizing symptoms and killing it sooner so it won’t spread as widely - assuming the infected person isn’t in isolation.
