“Herd immunity” means your population has enough people with immunity to prevent the virus from spreading within it. “Immunity” means you cannot be infected with the virus to the point where you become ill or contagious. The only way for their product to help us “gain herd immunity” is for it to help stop people from transmitting the virus.
The ability to vaccinate at speed to gain herd immunity and stop transmission is our highest priority.
In that statement, and their they are saying they are trying to get as many people as possible vaccinated to gain herd immunity. That implies their product prevents transmission, which was never at any point proven. They were lying.
I also have an NBC News interview clip of Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla directly claiming that his product prevents transmission. Unfortunately I can’t link that here because it is on Gettr.
