Yes, I agree they are slow.

They were very slow to confirm side effects (remember when people suffering with heart issues were ridiculed and ignored?).

Very slow to let everyone know that it wouldn't actually stop transmission (remember when we were told to get it to protect grandma? Or how about the messaging that 'breakthrough cases are very rare').

Very slow to reveal that effectiveness waned quite quicky.

These issues were quite obvious from the beginning. It's taken two years and only now can these be openly discussed without becoming a social pariah.
