Let me quote exactly what I said in my initial reply:

“ Perhaps in the first couple months the effectiveness was overstated but that quickly changed”

UPDATE:

EFFICACY is a different word than effective.

Ok, let me quote exactly what I just said:

"We're talking about if they were ever claimed to be 100% effective....if you overpromise at the beginning, you lose your credibility, and then you get cheap shots."

EFFICACY is a different word than effective.

“New vaccine demonstrates 100% efficacy against severe COVID, hospitalizations”

The articles I linked used the two words interchangably. Clearly that distinction isn't relevant to the layperson audience. You're just playing with words.
