Less than before but there’s enough in there for a bad winter ahead if we arbitrarily abandon all mitigations.

Efficacy against infection is an irrelevance, efficacy against serious illness, hospitalisation and death is what matters and the vaccines are 90+% effective against that metric.
Also not “unsubstantiated” you have a short memory
