Isn't prevention of transmission what vaccine effacacy measures?

  Ah, but you see, we live in the age of "words can simply be redefined to mean whatever the elites want them to mean." Stability of language is a relic from the past.

  Yes, though, You're going to have poor quality arguments if the terms are poorly defined, as above. Does vaccinating against Covid-19 prevent _some_ transmissions - yes, obviously. efficacy measures that percentage. Does vaccinating against Covid-19 prevent _all_ transmissions - obviously not. Watch out for the people conflating these two statements, rhetorically shifting from one the other when it suits them. e.g. the (wrong) statement that "vaccinating against COVID-19 doesn't prevent transmission so it's useless" uses the (true) first sense for the first half, then draws a conclusion as though it's the second sense.
