Why do you think that matters? You cannot simply look at effectiveness against a single endpoint and ignore other outcomes as otherwise you would conclude that cyanide is a 100% effective vaccination against any disease. The goal was to reduce death and illness, not merely move it around, yet the trial data didn't allow any conclusions on whether vaccines save lives or end them overall.
Nor did they allow for any assessment of reduction in "severe" COVID, hospitalization or transmission, despite many later claims about these things, as none of these terms were defined or measured in the RCTs:

Finally, the 95% effective number was clearly wrong. No real world data backed up that number and in fact measured, real world effectiveness started plunging immediately once the mass rollout began. By the time the UK stopped reporting case rates by vaccine status effectiveness was strongly negative, even!
It's unclear what went wrong with the trials, but since they ended various cases of trial fraud have come to light e.g. people who were very obviously crippled for life or killed by the vaccines yet who were written down in the trial as having mild "abdominal pain" or that the death wasn't vaccine related. There's no way to square any of these events with the trials having integrity.
