Why do public health people keep misleading us about this stuff?? I definitely got the impression there’s a good chance the vaccine won’t help much with infectiousness... But it sounds like that was a lie.

Not a lie. It’s a mismatch between what the experts think they’re saying and why, and how it is heard.

That’s what they did say? But this understates the confidence that the vaccine reduces transmission. (Also your phrasing sounds like you’re talking to a child IMO)

Yeah, it sounds like instructions to a kindergarten class and we know a lot more than that already.
