In my country (France) only +12yo are eligible for the vaccination and we are currently at 86.1% fully vaccinated in this population (88.3% with at least one dose).

Are we talking about the whole population or only eligible people?

I don't know how you can dispute that if you are trying to compute A where A = B/C and you don't have a fixed value for B, then you cannot know A with any certainty.

I'll argue that C, the benefits, are also unknown. What about the long term effects of COVID-19? What if a new more deadly, more infectious or vaccine-resistant variant appears that could have been prevented from a quick mass vaccination?

You can only make the best decision from what we know at this time.

It is not a conspiracy theory to believe that a relatively untested vaccine can have unknown side effects.

Everybody knows that. But the benefits (reduced transmission, protection from severe forms of the disease) still outweigh the risks of the vaccine.
