> and government officials accurately advised the public that it would significantly increase survival rates and reduce transmission rates. Not true. The only claims by the vaccine manufacturers were that it would stop people getting sick. They made no claims about infection/transmission. So there were two possibilities: Either it did work to reduce infection/transmission, or it only suppressed the symptoms and made asymptomatic transmission more common. Government and media claimed the first without evidence, and we actually got the second.
