re: Do you have friends who now claim the vaccine was never supposed to stop the spread?

Your point is a good one. Stopping the spread was the sole reason for demonizing non-vaxers.
However, one thing you are missing is that the vaccines did a fair job of stopping the spread of the original variants. They were about 95% effective after four months, and declined about 10% per month for the next five or six months, eventually being rather ineffective (thus the reason for the booster). As new variants appeared, it became less and less effective.
While I was strictly on team no-mandates, I think you are using shifted goal posts to judge the vaccine maniacs. It is not how the vaccines currently perform, but how they performed against alpha in 2021 that is germane.

Covid is the first infection to mutate. No one could’ve foreseen that the vaccine wouldn’t be effective later on.

Wrong. There were two reasons for demonizing non-vaxers. Kickbacks and to kill more people.

I don't believe this. I remember the President trumpeting the CDC numbers that deaths and hospitalizations were 97:1, unvaccinated:vaccinated.
I never got the feeling that any of the one sided numbers they gave us were on the up and up. Everything seemed ginned up to make people want to the the jab. They kept walking it back every time their lies were exposed.
