This is the basis upon which these drugs – which are not vaccines – were falsely sold to (and forced upon) the public. They were told they would not get the 'Rona – and could not spread it to others. In other words, they were told they would be immunized.

In other words, the public was lied to. Fact. Hard stop.

The polio vaccine does not "reduce the symptoms" of polio.

If a drug does not confer immunity – if it does not prevent infection/transmission – then it is a palliative at best for that is what defines a palliative. Aspirin being an example. No one in their right mind would style aspirin a "vaccine."

Yet people were told – lied to – that these drugs are "vaccines" and that they had a social obligation to take them for the sake of other people; i.e., so that they would not transmit their infection to other people.

The fact is these drugs prevent neither the getting nor the spreading and for that reason there is no moral case to be made for pressuring (let alone forcing) anyone to take these drugs for the sake of other people's "safety." Period. Because there is no benefit to other people. You are not "protecting" anyone else by taking these  drugs – and may well be hurting yourself.
