I went to the most recent report, and it seemed to me that -when you adjust for the percent of population vaccinated - the vaccines DO provide a short-term benefit, but that the benefit decreases significantly in the older age groups.

And it seems to me that the author of this critique is extrapolating from the vaccines' decreasing effectiveness against Covid as time passes to a claim that the vaccines diminish your resistance to ALL diseases in a similar manner. If that is what he's saying, it seems highly dubious.

Having said that, one statistic in the report jumped out at me: the government claims that 98.1% of the population now has Covid-19 antibodies, either through the vaccines, natural immunity, or both. If so, why have Covid-19 cases in the UK remained high for FIVE MONTHS, higher than most of the time when NO ONE was vaccinated?

“If so, why have Covid-19 cases in the UK remained high for FIVE MONTHS, higher than most of the time when NO ONE was vaccinated?”

Because the vaccine immunity is “leaky”, it doesn’t produce sterilizing immunity (killing the virus before you develop symptoms or transmit it to others).
