It was pretty clear, it just wasn't acknowledged by officials. For ex vaccine mandates make alot of sense if it stops spread, but a LOT less so if it just lowers recepients risk. Yet we had vaccine passports for over a yr

I'm not excusing right wing propoganda or blaming science in general but the avg person is pretty suseptible to simplistic messaging. So slogans like "follow the science" work... Until the reality that "science" (appropriately) changes & then huge swaths of population think all "science" is BS

I live in Oregon and we never had mandated vaccine passports. Some private businesses would ask for proof of vaccination because they rightly thought that someone who'd been vaccinated was *less likely* to contract Covid...but even that pissed off people.

Can't speak to Oregon but huge numbers of states, cities and localities did have them, including in workplace. And btw I was in favor and still am bc dying ppl are expensive but mandates based on obviously false notion of immunity undermine public trust.

Fewer infected and infectious people is how you stop spread. You have no examples of actual false messaging. Instead you're imposing childish misunderstandings and blaming "officials" for them.

We were all here for Covid, you can pretend what happened didn't and keep undermining the CORRECT macro messages but Im not going through the pointless exercise of searching for inaccurate past messaging (so you can pick it apart each one) as again, we all know how the SM game is played.
