Yep. Now please include a source for Dr. Fauci. This tactic where you tell us what someone said and it turns out to be wrong is getting old. He wasn’t sure in March but according to you he was sure in July “Fauci explains that it is not yet clear how effective the current vaccines are at curbing the spread of the virus from an immunized person to others. In other words, a vaccine will prevent the recipient from getting sick, but that person may still carry the virus and expose those who have not received the vaccine.” https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-fauci-vaccineeffectiveness/fact-check-faucis-comments-on-the-effectiveness-of-the-covid-19-vaccines-misconstrued-in-video-idUSL1N2L82Q4 https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-fauci-vaccineeffec...

Not July, but in late May of 2021. (appx 4min in to that interview there is an MSNBC clip from back then. So I am off by about 6 weeks. https://youtu.be/5qp1BWSAQkc https://youtu.be/5qp1BWSAQkc However, July 23rd 2021 Town Hall, Biden conveyed same thing. https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/22/politics/fact-check-biden-cnn-town-hall-july/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/22/politics/fact-check-biden-cnn... I can find no clips of Fauci “correcting” the president after that clip. Only after it became apparent to everyone that the vaccines were not effective at preventing Covid, did the administration start shifting the narrative to the prevention of disease severity talking point. Fact is, they were wrong, or they were lying to intentionally mislead to encourage vaccination. Either way, what they say now about it now should be examined skeptically.

> In other words, a vaccine will prevent the recipient from getting sick, but that person may still carry the virus and expose those who have not received the vaccine I just read this little tidbit. So you posted here that he said in July in essence: “that the vaccine will prevent the recipient from getting sick” (which as we know, quite wrong). Yet, you derided me for saying that he said that very same thing a year ago. Fascinating that you somehow think you are providing evidence on here that we shouldn’t be skeptical of the claims that are being made. You yourself are apparently engaing the same misdirection that the administration did.
