It lowered the chances, and in case of getting sick it also massively lowered the chances of getting the worst side-effects, exactly like any other vaccine does.
It's a shame that even highly educated populations do not understand a basic fact of immunology.
Yeah what a shame. I never claimed that it didn't lower the chances of side effects.
This is what was claimed.
"You become a dead end to the virus." — Fauci, 2021
This was the reality
"[Vaccines against respiratory viruses produce] decidedly suboptimal protection." — Fauci, Cell Host & Microbe journal article, 2023
"The durability of protection against infection and hence transmission was relatively limited." — Fauci, 2024 congressional testimony
Anybody that questioned the religious dogma that the vaccines were super effective and that healthy people needed to get endless boosters were crucified and in many cases, fired from their jobs for refusing an unnecessary medical procedure.
