And they were wrong. Which is why there won't be any more lockdowns. The experts have no credibility.

New evidence.....most vaccines don't stop transmission and never have! Fact!

Pay attention! It was the arrival of the variants which were found to be more transmissible. ChatGPT explains it rather well:-

"COVID-19 vaccines have been shown to be effective in reducing the transmission of the original strain of the virus, although the extent of their impact on transmission can vary. Here's what we know based on available evidence:

Reduced transmission: COVID-19 vaccines, such as those developed by Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, AstraZeneca, and Johnson & Johnson, have demonstrated significant efficacy in preventing symptomatic and severe illness caused by the original strain of the virus. By reducing the severity of the disease, vaccines can indirectly contribute to reducing the transmission of the virus, as vaccinated individuals are less likely to become infected and spread it to others.

Asymptomatic transmission: Vaccinated individuals who do become infected with the virus, even if they don't develop symptoms (asymptomatic cases), may have a lower viral load and shed less virus compared to unvaccinated individuals. This suggests that vaccines can also help reduce asymptomatic transmission, although it may not eliminate it entirely.

Variants of concern: The effectiveness of vaccines against new variants of the virus, such as the Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta variants, may vary. While vaccines continue to offer a significant level of protection against severe illness, hospitalization, and death caused by these variants, some studies have shown reduced efficacy in preventing mild or moderate symptomatic infection with certain variants. However, even if vaccines may be somewhat less effective against specific variants, they still provide important protection and can help limit the spread of the virus.

Population-level impact: The overall impact of vaccines on reducing transmission depends on the coverage and effectiveness of vaccination campaigns, along with other factors like vaccine hesitancy, adherence to public health measures, and the emergence of new variants. Achieving high vaccination rates across populations is crucial for maximizing the impact on transmission and reducing the overall burden of the disease.

It's important to note that research on COVID-19 and its vaccines is ongoing, and new information continues to emerge. The effectiveness of vaccines in reducing transmission can be influenced by various factors, and further studies are being conducted to better understand their impact on different strains and variants of the virus."

So what your saying is whatever fits the agenda at the time....

Yep, while these words won't help those who lost loved ones the vast majority of people young and old, vaccinated or not, who contracted this virus survived.....though we recognise those that still suffer the after effects.

However, the excess deaths that have been ongoing needs serious attention and we need questions on why it's not being taken with the seriousness it deserves.

Vaccines never stopped transmissions. Fact.

Over 90 percent of people maybe 99 percent of people had mild symptoms.

Surely your lord and master sleepy joe was right that getting the covid vaccine stopped transmissions? Surely this was a fact?

At the end of the day in terms of covid it's only a fact if it fits an agenda.

Whatever comes out after is just covering one's own backside. Oh we didint know... The science evolved. Absolute BS. Just trying to justify or the old "we were just following orders" at the time.
