Dr. Anthony Fauci, who previously led the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases prior to his retirement, testified before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic on Monday, telling Congress that he does not believe any vaccine is "100 percent effective" and that the Covid vaccine had "limited" protections.
"The vaccines saved millions of lives and I want to thank you for your support and engagement on that. However, despite statements to the contrary, it did not stop transmission of the virus. Did the COVID vaccine stop transmission of the virus?" subcommittee Chairman Brad Wenstrup asked.
They knew the vaccine waned in efficacy and kept firing people for not taking it anyway.

Fauci said it was a "complicated issue," saying that the first iteration of the vaccines "did have an effect — not 100 percent, not a high effect — they did prevent infection and subsequently, obviously transmission."
