I don't think any clinical trials claimed they would "cUrE COvId" for sure. IIRC they showed more than 70+% efficiency in preventing infections, so it seemed like our best weapon against covid. People then hoped it could end the pandemic, and exaggerated claims have been made by a lot of people, I guess, and maybe some governments. The clinical trials didn't claimed that.

While the scientific data has been clear (absolute risk reduction of vaccines about 1% for the early strains of the virus) the public discourse seems totally detached from the science. People are still saying things like "I'd rather get the jab instead of Covid.", which shows that they are not aware of the possibility that they can still get Covid. I think this is the result of a massive bias in the media that did not allow even mentioning the slightest fact that makes the vaccines seem not so awesome. And we haven't even started to talk about the myocarditis risk for young males.
