How do you come to this conclusion when the vaccine's effectiveness against transmission was never demonstrated in controlled trials, and very highly vaxxed jurisdictions like the Bay Area saw huge and persistent waves of cases?

Because there have been many many studies of the effect of the vaccine, in many different countries, by many different groups.

The results are overwhelmingly that the vaccine saves lives.

This is a bad argument.

A vaccine can be useful, and save millions of lives, even if we falsely assume for the sake of argument that it doesn't reduce the amount of people who get infected or transmissibility.
