If that were the standard then the entire public health apparatus in most countries would have been banned many months ago. Clearly it's not. You can spread as many lies as you want as long as it's in favor of vaccines and masks.

Anyway Berenson has been reliably ahead of the curve on this. He is FAR more accurate and trustworthy than governments have been. The tweet that got him banned said something like "It doesn't stop infection" and pointing out that because the vaccine only reduces symptoms without reducing infection, that makes it a therapeutic. Which is correct.

Never seen a vaccine before that train your immune system but doesn’t reduce infection. This just doesn’t make sense!

do you have any peer reviews research paper that have data showing it doesn’t reduce infection?

if he mean “does not completely prevent you from getting infected” then this is true.

All vaccines do not completely prevent infection. But that’s not a reason to stop calling them what they are and start calling them therapeutic :-)
