People in middle age have quite high IFR (>0.23% at 45) and significant amounts of western population are in risky groups because they are in bad health in general. The vaccines reduce both individual risk and spread. Overall, they work well. For the most part, side effects of the vaccines are also side effects of the disease, but with a reduced likelihood. You're almost guaranteed to get the disease in the upcoming years. The vaccines are not an untested therapy. You wouldn't think coercion wouldn't be necessary given a sufficiently deadly disease, but evidently it would be if you wanted very high adherence. (For the record, I don't think we should literally force-administer the vaccine.) Cost-benefit analysis reports exist that confirm whatever conclusion you desire, presumably if the conclusion is not the one you want the source is not sufficiently independent enough for you. Epidemiologists prior to 2019 suggested lockdowns for infectious diseases and they were in fact implemented, it took me all of 5 seconds to google that, as if there was any doubt.
