I agree partially with you and presume that you would agree with me that both cellular immunity and humoral immunity (just like every pill, poultice, powder, ointment or operation in modern healthcare) do not have 100.00 % efficacy. What is the credible evidence that injection of vaccine(s) “weakens” cellular immunity?

There are several ways cellular immunity can be weakened. The first is the reduction in the numbers of these protective cells evidenced after the injection of the inactivated Sars-CoV-2 virus. This study did not look at the injection of mRNA. This study is more along the lines of traditional injections of antigens. The conclusion was that people’s immune systems were put in a more vulnerable state: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41421-021-00329-3

Next is evidence that the injections reprogram the innate immune cellular response to focus on antigens created by the mRNA vs what might be coming through the epithelial barrier. Also, toll-like receptors involved in the innate immune response are blinded: https://www.news-medical.net/news/20210510/Research-suggests-Pfizer-BioNTech-COVID-19-vaccine-reprograms-innate-immune-responses.aspx

This study warns about macrophages getting reprogrammed to have long lived damaging inflammasome responses due to the unique properties of the vaccine induced spike protein: https://www.embopress.org/doi/full/10.15252/emmm.202114150

Dumbed-down version: the ostensible cure could be worse than the disease.
