I think it's a remarkable stretch to frame responsible editing ("the current evidence suggests reduced transmission with vaccination, but there's a confounding unknown") as "backtracking."

Except, this is like saying the current flu vaccine provides 100% resistance to the 1918 spanish flu, while leaving out that it doesn't work for this year's virus. All perhaps statements that could be considered true, but not useful if it's dealing with current events.

Nobody uses language like “100% resistance” when talking about diseases. That’s not what the Nature article claims, and not what any reputable source would claim.
