This is properly one of the worst gotcha's ever this.

Even the exec was laughing at the thought of testing for transmission. I think @RAFUH post sums it up best and they are still testing in the states regards to transmission.

Vaccines generally are not evaluated for transmission initially to get them to market. It's not a corner cut to get them to market and not shocking news. Transmission data generally comes later.
There has been recent data published showing a decrease in transmission rates, but it does decline over time a good bit faster than preventing severe illness in vaccinated people. There is a large transmission study going on now in the US.

Even if vaccines don't decrease transmission rates, "get vaccinated for others" still holds. Decreasing hospitalizations/death is good for everyone - less cost to a country as a whole, less burden on the healthcare system and those that need it for non-COVID reasons as well less strain on healthcare workers, among other societal benefits. To say nothing of the benefit to people who care about you not having to sit by your bed (or not be able to do that) and watch you struggle to breathe and the long term health problems, disabilities, reduced income, etc that can result from severe illness.

Nope, the meaning of a vaccine has always been the same a long time before covid was around.

So, you got a polio vaccine when a child to lessen the symptoms of polio when you got it?

There is a record of the cdc in America changing the website to redefine vaccine during covid. Easy to find if you look for it.
