You do know that there's a ton of investment going into curing Covid, right? But you can't just "magic" a cure out of thin air.

When exactly did the manufacturers lie about efficacy? Be specific, and cite your sources.

From 1, page 42

> Among 3410 total cases of suspected but unconfirmed COVID-19 in the overall study population, 1594 occurred in the vaccine group vs. 1816 in the placebo group. Suspected COVID-19 cases that occurred within 7 days after any vaccination were 409 in the vaccine group vs. 287 in the placebo group.

Why are there suspected but not confirmed cases of COVID-19? The document doesn't say. But here's what we know: not all participants received PCR tests to confirm their status, only those that presented some set of symptoms.
