I will say this. This is exactly what the data showed. The initial Pfizer and Moderna studies showed ~95% effectiveness after 3 months follow-up, against the original Wuhan strain. As the virus mutated and as time extended beyond 3 month observation periods, studies showed declining effectiveness. There were probably half a dozen I read from various sources globally (because of course the CDC, FDA, Pfizer, Moderna cabal were all still repeating 95%) that showed declining effectiveness anywhere from 80% which isn't terrible on down to 39%, which is flu shot level worthless. There was a lot of learning as we went (because the initial testing was rushed and they didn't bother with adequate follow-up).

Typically a vaccine will not be approved by the FDA if it's less than 50% effective, but of course COVID was an exception so they stuck with Pfizer's BS data as their official story.

Fauci was correct to site these numbers, but he was always behind the headlines. Studies would come out and make the rounds all over social media for weeks or months, then he'd come out and begrudgingly admit the numbers were lower. It was a HRC-type stall tactic. He'd just maintain the lie til it was universally understood to be BS, and by then, he'd moved on to a new lie.

Fauci needs a short drop and a sudden stop for what he's done, but it's going to take a timeline in front of the jury to nail this slippery weasel down.
