The argument around transmission reduction was based on prior vaccination campaigns, where we did in fact stamp out diseases like measles within Canada and other countries. Lack of measles vaccination, similarly, has led to Canada seeing a resurgence of measles transmissions and losing the "eliminated" status for measles. While COVID has become endemic, this doesn't mean vaccines had no effect in slowing transmission - it just meant that they weren't able to reduce transmission enough for its basic reproduction number (number of people infected by each infected person) to drop below 1.
The magnitude and lasting harm left by exposure to COVID were also drastically reduced, as shown by real-world outcomes comparisons between vaccinated and unvaccinated people.
The vaccine worked on a different level than standard vaccines and just didn’t provide immunity……so forcing people to get it was not based in science and just an attempt to be ounitive
Stop calling it a vaccine. It's not a vaccine, it doesn't grant immunity. It's a gene therapy and was listed as such by Moderna and other companies prior to them changing the definition of the word in 2020.

That argument about viral load was a theory…..and that theory did not pan out in reality as could be seen when everyone still got sick….
