I dunno. The powers that be never really said the vaccines would stop people from catching or spreading the virus (even though they may have implied exactly this in their EUA filings). They just said reduced risk of serious illness, hospitalization or death.
It is entirely possible - plausible I’d say - that all of the above are true, e.g. they don’t know, they suppress information, and they are either not very bright or motivated to spread information for political/career reasons rather than the truth.
Lots of recent articles about the vaccines not being very effective against some variants, and that the vaccine ‘immunity’ starts to fade away fairly quickly. Pfizer is already putting out information that a 3rd jab helps. J&J claims theirs is very effective against Delta. Moderna et al have been talking about boosters since before these were released. They know (and knew) things they don’t/didn’t want to say before.
I don’t think we are looking at a true vaccine. I think they are calling it that but it appears to be more of a therapeutic. It makes sure you don’t die from Covid, but you can die from any number of side effects and there is no lasting immunity which one gets from a true vaccine.
By using the word “Vaccine” they implied that it would stop people from getting it and spreading it. Vaccines have a very long history of actually doing their jobs. The flu is an exception to this rule.
But this isn’t the flu is it?
” They just said reduced risk of serious illness, hospitalization or death.”
but there is eveidence it makes you 8% (if I recall correctly) more likely to die from Covid if you get it, so how it that reducing the risk as you seem to want to believe?
