"Pfizer have admitted they did not have any proof the vaccine prevented spreading covid."

https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-pfizer-vaccine-transmission-idUSL1N31F20E

"Social media users are circulating video clips of testimony by a Pfizer executive, who is said to “admit” that the company and its partner BioNTech did not test whether their mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine reduced virus transmission prior to rolling it out – which is something the companies were not required to do for initial regulatory approval, nor did they claim to have done.

To get emergency approval, companies needed to show that the vaccines were safe and prevented vaccinated people from getting ill. They did not have to show that the vaccine would also prevent people from spreading the virus to others. Once the vaccines were on the market, independent researchers in multiple countries studied people who received the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine and did show that vaccination reduced transmission of variants circulating at the time."

That same article says it was effective at keeping vaccinated people healthy. If you could still transmit it to someone who’s not vaccinated that’s their fault

In other words, “the precautions worked, therefore we didn’t need the precautions.”

Jesus, dude. That’s just appalling.

Millions of people died. Millions. How have you forgotten that already? How dare you downplay it as “relatively harmless”?

C'mon, man. You can't possibly be as dense as you're pretending to be right now. That doesn't even make sense as fiction, let alone as something that could actually happen on earth.

For what you're describing to be true would require a worldwide conspiracy involving basically every health care worker and records-keeper on the planet, with literally every government and organization suddenly cooperating even with their direct ideological enemies, all of this working in concert, all in perfect secrecy.

Not to mention that recording other types of death as COVID deaths would be obvious at a glance to anyone paying the slightest bit of attention, because there'd have to be a sudden unexplainable drop in the number of recorded deaths from every other cause.

And all of this for literally no reason or benefit other than to, um, *checks notes* increase the rent in Sydney? That's your grand conspiracy?

Seriously I don't understand how people like you get tricked into spouting such obviously ridiculous beliefs. I really don't.
