>>> It was never sold as "you'll be immune".

> THE NEWS HASNT BEEN TELLING EVERYONE FOR THE PAST YEAR THAT VACCINES COMPLETELY PREVENT THE DISEASE

We're not talking about the past year. We're talking about if they were ever claimed to be 100% effective. Don't move the goalposts. Also, dude, chill out. And anyway, who said they're still claiming 100% efficacy? The anti-vaccine crowd has been mocking the media and Fauci for continuously decreasing the % efficacy claims. (Not that it's a legitimate criticism, since with a leaky vaccine it's to be expected: but if you overpromise at the beginning, you lose your credibility, and then you get cheap shots.)

> We soon discovered they didn’t last and the virus mutated.

There were plenty of people who saw that coming, but they were dismissed as 'anti-vaccine' and 'anti-science'. Why are you surprised by basic virology?

> We skipped the long-term studies.

Yep. Sure did. Wonder what else we're going to find.

Let me quote exactly what I said in my initial reply:

“ Perhaps in the first couple months the effectiveness was overstated but that quickly changed”

UPDATE:

EFFICACY is a different word than effective.

Ok, let me quote exactly what I just said:

"We're talking about if they were ever claimed to be 100% effective....if you overpromise at the beginning, you lose your credibility, and then you get cheap shots."
