I recall science journalists spreading the concept of sterilizing immunity with regard to the covid vaccines even comparing them to small pox vaccine and invoking the concept of herd immunity which cannot and will not be possible with this disease. That is not a public fault.

Source please.

  Does my source matter or will you disagree with the point I'm making anyway? As I said, it is recollection of news clips and twitter from CDC officials/accounts, it would take some time to find and I'm not exactly willing to go through the effort if you will not first dispute the point.

    Show me the source then we'll see lol. I can't imagine the CDC pushing out informational materials that claim complete protection/immunity from any of the coronaviruses.

      Of course its not that, its: "We eradicated Smallpox with the vaccine, get your Covid shot so we can beat Covid!" In an infographic which makes it impossible to search for.

        And what about that statement says the vaccines provide immunity to COVID-19? It seems more like you are under-informed about how pandemics end.

        Well there is no strong implication, are you suggesting that the inclusion of Smallpox is entirely non-sequitur?
