Perhaps I'm wrong, but the vaccines were designed to lessen the effects of COVID, not to provide immunity and yes, we were lied to, over and over again. I don't think there's an end in sight for the lies and public deception.
I don't think you are wrong. Words have meaning. Vaccines prevent you from getting a disease. Referring to the jab as a vaccine is misleading and lots of people know or are finding that to be true. This only causes people to distrust those in positions of authority and rightfully so. How is the vaccine different from Tamiflu?
