Every TV in America wasn't playing those videos saying vaccines made you immune to contracting COVID because they don't exist. You made it up.
"They reflected what people believed back then, and what folks from Fauci to the WHO to the Surgeon General to Biden said, which was that if you were "fully vaccinated" you could then go about your life almost normally, that you would be very unlikely to get or spread covid."-johnforbes
What johnforbes left out of that characterization was that this would be true if everyone continued to mask and keep distance. But it is good that johnforbes admits that he lied about Fauci et al. saying that you could not catch COVID if you were fully vaccinated when Fauci said just the opposite, that people could still catch COVID, though they would not be hospitalized or die in great numbers, which is true and born out by the numbers.
The scenario of 'going about almost normally' also hinged on everyone getting vaccinated, which Trump supporters refuse to do in large numbers, leaving the country needlessly vulnerable, which is also true and born out by the numbers.
"But, as the summer of 2021 unfolded, alarming reports began to filter into the media that a big chunk of hospital admissions were from people who had already had 2 covid shots."-Dishonestjohn
This is a dishonest partisan characterization of an expected and not-at-all-alarming occurrence of 15% of hospitalizations being vaccinated people and the other 85% were the unvaccinated, which was the real alarming number because there was no longer a reason for still being unvaccinated.
The vaccines were never claimed to be more than 95% efficacy (which is GREAT by vaccine standards) The J&J was in the realm of 86% efficacy, which is still good, but leaves a lot of people vulnerable, though not nearly as many vulnerable as being a Repubican does. This fact alone should tell liar johnforbes that no one was "alarmed" that some fully vaccinated people contracted COVID--just as the scientific studies had told us they would. That the vaccines performed as expected neither alarmed nor surprised anyone except the highly partisan and dishonest Trump supporters.
"People like Kamala who were quadruple vaxed began to get covid in 2022..."-Dishonestjohn
Yes, people like Kamala got asymptomatic COVID, just as the vaccine studies told us all that she could. Harris is thankful that she wasn't one of the nutjob Republicans who refused the vaccines and got sick, were hospitalized, and died.
In the U.S. this is now a pandemic of the unvaccinated. The videos you claimed existed don't exist, so you have come around to the truth that no one ever said vaccinated people couldn't contract COVID. The very vaccine trials by the drug companies told us all this wasn't the case. Why johnforbes doesn't listen to vaccine producers' trial results is beyond me. Maybe someday he will learn to follow the science.
Sorry, them's the facts and nothing but the facts.
But you knew that and simply refused to include them in your dishonest and misleading characterization of the public health videos that were actually shown.
