While true, it's even weirder than that: their press release in 2020 was pretty explicit about the effectiveness only being about illness, and news articles at the time regularly mentioned infection/transmission effectiveness was unknown. It took a few months before the mainstream decided it does work on infection/transmission, and they did so without any new studies or evidence.
