I don't think anyone seriously denies that the "vaccines" provide some protection*. I believe the current official line is the (mRNA) jabs provide some protection against serious illness. In defense of Pharma (something I rarely do), they never promised the jabs would provide high protection against infection or transmission (and I believe that claim is factually correct, although I've not verified it for myself.) Beyond all doubt, there have been plenty of false statements by our President and many others who should have known better, of course, that the jab would protect one from getting sick, etc. Therefore the general charge by Our Side that the public has been substantially lied to from the outset is substantially true.

*I'm the first to admit that this "protection" is of dubious value. In the first place, most people are at near-zero risk of the virus. Secondly, the protection at best lasts several months. Thirdly is the let's-pretend-nothing-is-wrong taboo topic of nasty side effects.
