This piece from The Daily Skeptic claims that the CDC director knowingly lied to the public because she knew that the COVID vaccines did not stop the virus even though she promoted mass vaccination.

What do we make of this one?

    Well, it does stop the virus in some cases. In others, it provides a good boost to immune response when infected. This helped to keep a large majority of vaccinated individuals out of the hospital when they got it (including myself). As we continue to watch the virus mutate and gain better immune-evading features, the efficacy of the previous iterations of the vaccine wanes. On top of that, the immune boosting potential of the vaccine wanes over time, making it less effective after a period (hence boosters).

    This is all vaccine 101, and if someone can’t or won’t understand the basics of vaccines and biology, they aren’t going to care about any of this.

    Even worse, if they are maliciously fabricating information (i.e. vaccinated people dying more than they are, vaccine side effects a la vaers, etc) then you are just playing into their hand to increase engagement and get eye balls on their nonsense.
