Heres the problem, this doesnt matter to those with cognitive dissonance. I have debated the vaccine topic repeatedly and the need to submit to authority will always override any logic, because to not submit to authority is to be ostracized from the "in" group. This includes debating people like you local friendly physician assistants and doctors who point blank said that Fauci and the CDC never claimed the "vaccine" would prevent covid infection. It got so bad I just have a pocket compilation of the direct statements from Fauci and the CDC in my phone to pull up. This of course triggers the cognitive dissonance face and argument of "The science at the time". People will not admit that "authority" is wrong as long as their options are stay in line or be unpersoned. This is especially true in medicine where DIE has more authority than scientific practice. Think of it this way, imagine the sunk cost of 8 years of college followed by x years of specialization and residency. then when you are practicing any paper you write can be used as an excuse to shitcan you if it doesnt meet DIE talking points. If you could lose the decade plus of work and school cost that you will never recuperate if you are blacklisted over not being woke enough then the only people who will stand up are either those who have the temerity to say fuck it, or those who are beyond reproach. Lets be honest, when Dr. Peter McCullough has covid misinformation as a label on his Wikipedia page despite developing the therapeutic treatment that everyone from Joe Rogan to Tim Pool have used and swear by then what is a new hospital resident going to do?
It’s a Reuters fact check in 2021 that aged soooo well.
After Fauci says, “We’re not sure, at this point, that the vaccine protects you against getting infected,”
After Fauci says that the vaccines are “very good, 94%, 95% in protecting you against clinically recognizable disease, and almost a 100% in protecting you for severe disease,”
The Cleveland Clinic explains here that “those who have been vaccinated may still be asymptomatic spreaders,” as the vaccines prevent illness, but “more research is needed to determine if the vaccines also prevent transmission.”
As clarified here by the World Health Organization (WHO), “Viruses, and the diseases they cause, often have different names. For example, HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. People often know the name of a disease, but not the name of the virus that causes it.”
In this context, Dr. Fauci is describing severe or clinically recognizable cases of COVID-19, which the vaccines are highly effective at fighting.
That last one is especially brutal as the severe case numbers in the vaccinated have continually spiked despite boosters.
"Vaccines, actually, at least with regard to SARS-CoV-2 [the coronavirus] can do better than nature," Fauci, America's leading infectious disease expert, said. "Vaccination in people previously infected significantly boosts the immune response."

Ayo, lemme get that pocket compilation. I have some vaxxies to show it to.

Fauci saying the vaccines are more effective than natural immunity- https://archive.ph/FUK4n
Video: Fauci admitted his herd immunity percent claims were “guesstimates” and again pushed 94-95% disease efficacy. https://twitter.com/SteveKrak/status/1343296272481067009?s=20&t=wsUoRdK_h43w_jauPc6hGQ
Thanks chief!
