They did save two lives if you look at the death causes. 2 died of covid that were in the placebo group. There is also the numerous numbers of cases that didn't get severe covid and have long term negative side effects. Two people in the placebo group died of covid... that means they died fairly quickly and of covid directly meaning the illness was more severe. one person in the pfizer group died of covid pneumonia which means they were likely older and had a less severe infection but they still got pneumonia and died.
The number of people that got covid or severe covid in the control group were many, many times more as the vaccine protected many from getting it in the first place.
