I don't recall ever being told the shots prevented COVID. What the CDC says is the shots reduce your risk of severe illness.
Full stop here. This was prevalent in the media - CDC Director, Maddow, Biden, all said this verbatim. There's plenty of individual videos and compilations. Even without those, anyone with any decent amount of media exposure heard this. It was 100% the narrative.
But I've seen what you've said 100s of times with twitter links etc....part of it is a coordinated effort amongst activists to change history. Obviously not the case with you but I'd really like to understand how this could be missed. Are your sources that biased?
Do you really, actually believe they never said this? Remember the term "breakthrough case"? Why would something be called a "breakthrough" if it wasn't designed to stop acquisition or transmission? Remember "get vaccinated for others"? Why would they say that if it only reduced hospitalization risk?
Now, Pfizer has come out and said it was never intended to stop, but they NEVER said that when the prevailing messaging said it did.
