No it's not, in the context that people believed it. That's the point.

- tonyarkles 5mo agoIt's a disingenuous trick question though, specifically because of the nuance that most people won't think too much about. Did the vaccine "prevent transmission"? No, obviously not. Did it seriously curb the virus from ripping through seniors care homes and killing a bunch of people? Yes. It's the kind of question that's phrased as a gotcha, not one that actually gets insight into population beliefs and behaviours beyond "oh look they fell for my trick"
- stinkbeetle 5mo agoI don't think it is a disingenous trick question, I think it is a good one because it exactly matches the misinformation being spread by some antiscientific liars who repeated it without any of that "nuance" you are talking about.
