I remember some very pointed questions in the beginning, demanding to know if it stopped transmission. It seemed like an odd thing to fixate on at the time, because of course that’s what vaccines do, right? Now we get it. Now we know. And we know more than they intended for us to learn about a bunch of other vaccines, too.
Well, a good chunk of what they’d have us believe about vaccines in general was always flimsy and based on the success of one or two vaccines. But they wanted to apply it to all vaccines. So saying “all” vaccines are safe and effective is like saying all painkillers work the same, from aspirin to opioids.

And of course, there's the minor matter that these are not actually vaccines.
