So what does the latest science say about the effectiveness of the vaccine?
Like the best I heard a minute ago is that it MIGHT reduce symptoms. Future generations will laugh at us.

It definitely reduces symptoms. Just take a look around any ICU in an area with low vaccination rates.
The debate about its effectiveness is and always has been about transmission rates, and some variants are too virulent to be completely stopped by a vaccine. It does train our antibodies well enough to put up a formidable defense, but that doesn't a few stragglers won't make it past those defenses.
The body can handle a few stragglers much, much better than it can against the whole horde. The unvaccinated don't have the antibodies they need. It's like trying to put out a housefire with your kitchen faucet. The vaccines are like having multiple fire extinguishers around
