The vaccine did not prevent illness or transmission or re-infection either so you can lay a good chunk of death and illness at the feet of public health experts who lied about the vaccine's efficacy in order to goad people into getting it. I was one of those people who believed the lies - but if I knew the truth I would not have taken the vaccine. That's medical malpractice because it denied me (and millions of others) of informed consent.
Telling people the vaccine was sterilizing obviously harmed many people who thought they couldn't/wouldn't pass along the illness. Why aren't we holding those officials accountable for lying about the efficacy?
I don't know about you, but when someone lies to me ONCE that's plenty for me to reconsider trusting them again. Whatever the next big thing is they want me to go along with, count me among the hesitant.
