I wasn't talking about what I read, I was talking about what they said on TV. I'm going to find the original clips soon (at work at the moment), but I clearly remember Hugo de Jonge telling us all, on national television, that we would be protected by the vaccine, and would stop the spreading of it. I'm not the only one that heard it.
I'm SPECIFICALLY talking about the Dutch news coverage here - I have no experience with others.
So this:
> It was _never_ claimed that it would "prevent" the spread of the disease or that it would even prevent _you_ from catching it.
Is just not true; they told our entire country on television.
