It's not a matter of not telling the truth but not being able to predict the future. Just like you cant predict when a pandemic will emerge, no one knew it would happen to mutate to the delta variant before vaccines could do what we hoped. The vaccine probably couldn't have been developed any quicker, but maybe people taking better precautions somewhere with masks, handwashing and distancing might have given us enough time to wipe it out without a mutation. Now it looks likely to stick around long term, but at least we've got some more preventatives (vaccines are worse but not useless for delta) and treatments than earlier on.
