You know there are vaccines that prevent infection and transmission cannot occur.
Covid "Vaccines do not prevent infection".
Yup!

Vaccines do not prevent infection. They provide increased immunity from symptoms.
That's how they have always worked and I thought most folk knew that. Apparently not.
Some vaccines provide sterilizing immunity. You can feel free to look them up online using your preferred search method.
The point was being made in regards to "moving the goal posts". The vaccine was billed as "if you got it, you dont need to use any precautions! No mask! No social distancing requirements! Life is back to normal for you!".. which of course was then changed.
Which means that people were lied to. They knew that this vaccine did not provide that level of sterilizing immunity - but they sold it to people like it would function in a similar fashion. Then the goal posts were moved.. when people started getting sick again with full vaccinations.
To borrow a line from you..
"...and I thought most folk knew that. Apparently not."

Seriously? You think that the scandal chasing, click baiting, garbage snooping MSM wouldn't jump the chance expose such a juicy story? The journalist who exposed something like this would be set for life. Just look at the guys who broke the child abuse scandal in the church, or watergate.
I think your under the assumption that the media is free. It isn't it's a large part of the propaganda machine pushing this (sic) vaccine and they'll push the story as their masters tell them. Anyone exposing it would be out period.
So, you're saying that there isn't a single free media outlet anywhere on the entire planet?
Given that journalists only this month published the Pandora files, and the existence of groups like Wikileaks, I think that maybe you're living in some paranoid fantasy world.

Well the jab sure has turned a certain group into hateful, inconsiderate A holes.
My step dad is a retired physician who was really afraid of covid, got the jab as soon as he could. He’s had terrible side effects. He’s lost his balance which they are blaming on mini strokes, and Shingles. My mom got it because him and she’s going through maintenance treatments from breast cancer, but she hasn’t had any side effects. My wife works at the big Children’s Hospital here and was forced to take it or be fired. Then they are told to sign a waiver for release of liability so you can’t sue them. I told her to quit but she took the first shot and had her arm swell up twice, and lymph nodes swell up huge. She is prone to clots in her legs and thankfully the pharmacist asked her to see a doctor before the second shot. (So they can’t be sued either I guess)
I can’t believe the way these vaxxed/not really vaxxed people are acting, taking these horrid politicians and big Pharma's side against their fellow citizens side. It’s the most disheartening time of my 48 years on this planet.
I have had enough. The crap we deal with everyday on duty as a fireman, and then you have people like this ^ moron saying we are paid off government goons, and calling our law enforcement colleagues pigs all nonchalantly.
The Mayans were dead on balls accurate about the end of the world, and I hate this one.

As game-changing as the Pfizer vaccine (and Moderna's equally effective mRNA-1273 vaccine) may be in affording protection against the COVID-19 illness, the results do not reflect complete "sterilizing immunity."
This is the type of immunity that completely prevents a disease-causing pathogen like COVID-19 from establishing an infection. Sterilizing immunity differs from effective immunity in that the latter can prevent illness but still lead to asymptomatic infection.
Sterilizing immunity remains the holy grail of COVID-19 vaccine research.
Here in canada we have a government sponsored media in the CBC which has, in the two covid years, basically shut down most outside reporting of anything but covid.

Covid "Vaccines do not prevent infection".
Which ones?
Vaccines act by two broad main mechanisms. They can block infection occurring entirely or they can halt the progression to symptoms after infection occurs.1 The most direct pathway to population immunity is the first mechanism, also known as sterilising immunity. Because, if a person cannot get infected, they cannot transmit.

The internet is like that.
Try looking for any info about 'sterilizing immunity' online.
All that comes up is about covid......and the covid vaccine does not even offer 'sterilizing immunity'.

Nothing like a little TexasTruth. I am really struggling with how they have managed to put the vaxxed and unvaxxed against one another. The passports are asinine. It’s the most dangerous times in my 42 years and I don’t fear the virus that much.

BS, the anti-vax position is as much a position from fear as the pro-vax one.
The thing is that a covid infection carries the same propensity for those who will succumb to the circulat0ory issues as those who opt for the vax.
Effed either way.
