I remember Heather Heying of Darkhorse Podcast talking about how the trials didn't assess whether the vaccines prevented spread. This was way back when they were first being tested.
Her concern made no sense to me, because those trials (or at least the data they initially released) did show that the vaccines prevented infection and it seemed obvious that an uninfected person couldn't spread a virus.
I'm really glad someone was sounding the alarm on that right from the beginning.

I was super glad for them during covid. First to be prepared for the worst before we knew anything (we wore a mask in gloves out in public in early 2020 before anyone else was), then to evaluate the merits of the vaccines.

They were my primary source for evaluating all the different claims being made, sometimes just to make sure I wasn't way off base in my own assessments.

From Wikipedia:
Heying has said that she has taken ivermectin to guard against COVID-19 and that she and Weinstein have not been vaccinated "because we have fears [about the side-effects of the COVID-19 vaccines], as we have discussed at length on this podcast." Heying compared the use of ivermectin for this purpose to taking anti-malarial drugs.[4] Whereas all WHO-approved vaccines have shown a high level of safety and efficacy in all populations,[27] there is no good evidence of benefit from ivermectin in preventing or treating COVID-19.[28][29]
