>Who is "we", I have never seen anything other the claims that there were claims. Can you point me to an epidemiologist that made this claim.

Ah, by "we", you mean politicians.

These clowns are also all saying it's 100% effective which was known to be false from day 1.

You asked for an epidemiologist. I gave you two of the world's foremost practicing infectious disease experts : Rochelle Walensky, MD, MPH, Mass General chief of Infectious Diseases at Massachusetts General Hospital; and Monica Gandhi MD, MPH, Associate Chief of the Division of HIV, Infectious Diseases, and Global Medicine at UCSF.

It seems you're being intellectually dishonest

Monica Gandhi has been repeatedly wrong, claiming herd immunity in India right before somewhere between 1-3 million died, to the point of having to apologize for it. https://twitter.com/MehdiHasanShow/status/148940441066927719...

Fair assumption. But actually I'm Canadian and, while I knew COVID discourse was a clusterfuck in the US, I didn't realize that there were people that clearly knew better blatantly lying about this.

For instance, we KNEW that the best case scenario was 90% effectiveness for the MRNA vaccines. Seeing these people saying "you won't get COVID" is an absolute disgrace and people should lose their jobs and medical certifications for this.
