In fact, in the case of Pfizer, they never even tested the product to prevent transmission. Naturally, they didn't admit this at first, which allowed public officials to make unfounded claims that legitimized their coercive polices.
> Moderna's chief medical officer, Tal Zaks, said last month that he believed it was likely the vaccine would prevent transmission but warned that there was not yet "sufficient evidence" of it.

Pfizer did not actively test each participant. It only selectively tested some patients and not others, based on symptoms. They provided no explanation of 'suspected but unconfirmed' cases. If they suspected them, perhaps they should have tested them, but they didn't.
Most likely people would have decided they were going to live their lives, and then we'd see a lot more elderly people pass from it.
I remember some lady barging through my door the day after Halloween, without a mask, because she had to give my kids treats.
My opinion is that without a vaccine net transmission would have gone up without a vaccine, because people would have decided to take their chances and stop waiting for a vaccine.
As far as the lady who barged into my house, she knocked on the door without a mask on November 1, 2020, and pushed her way in to give my kids treats. I sometimes used to hang a mask on my front door's knob, but I don't remember if I had one easily accessible.
From what I understand, the vaccines generally shorten how long a person is infectious.
No clinical trial has shown this to be the case. People assume likes of things about these products, many of which are untrue or at least not backed by any evidence.
> But vaccinated people clear the virus faster, with lower levels of virus overall, and have less time with very high levels of virus present. Therefore, vaccinated people are, on average, likely to be less contagious.
> A study in medical journal The Lancet followed 602 primary close contacts of 471 people with COVID. It documented transmission and viral load in the group.
> It found there were no differences in peak viral loads between vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals. It also showed only a small decrease in the number of infections in household members between vaccinated and unvaccinated people, suggesting a similar level of infectiousness.
So, not only do you have to cherry pick studies to show that infectiousness is decreased, they're not clinical trials, and so there was absolutely no justification for ever requiring anyone to receive the products.
