FDA admits that the COVID vax doesn't prevent transmission or infection.
This means is that it doesn't prevent hospitalization or death. There are NO COUNTEREXAMPLES to this rule.

In other late-breaking news, the Pope is Catholic, bears shit in the woods, and Generalissimo Franco is still dead.
Seriously, though, nobody ever said a vaccine 100% PREVENTS transmission or infection of a disease! Or if they did, they didn’t know what the hell they were talking about! You can get a flu shot and still get the flu, that doesn’t mean flu shots do nothing, though. Or that vaccines in general do nothing, which is what people like this seem to think. I’ll go back to the story I’ve told a few times here now: My mother has a distinctive scar on her arm, from the shot they used to give for the smallpox vaccine. I don’t have that, because I never got the vaccine, because smallpox basically wasnt a thing anymore by the time I was born.
Pretty sure anyone that took Biology in high school knew that vaccines aren’t 100% effective.
“This means is that it doesn't prevent hospitalization or death.“
Vaccinations boost your immune system's response to the targeted disease, thus increasing your chances for survival. But even if you are asymptomatic, you can still carry and spread the virus to others. That's why vaccinated people should continue to take precautions like wearing a mask and washing their hands.
This is grade-school science. It's not hard to understand.
Admittedly, the FDA release, at least what Kirsch wants to quote, worded it very badly. But no, they never claimed the reduction would bring the cases to 0, just closer than without vaccination.
The "100%" claim is a straw man, just like "pure chance" for creationists.
Your source is a cult's disinformation fake news. But I don't expect much from Kirsch's ability to determine source quality.
BTW, I know someone who contracted SARS-CoV-2 variants three times. She almost died the first time, spending more than a month in the hospital, weeks under the ventilator in ICU. It was during the first major wave in my area, before the vaccines were available. After an infection, the natural immunity is considered to not be very long, often less than a year and it varies. Fortunately she followed the best recommendations and got her vaccines when they were available. Thanks to them, the other infections were mild. She's doing fine. Of course, some stupid people will claim that the other infections would be due to vaccines. But that's because they're ignorant or liars, or both.
Confused?
