This piece from The Daily Skeptic claims that the CDC director knowingly lied to the public because she knew that the COVID vaccines did not stop the virus even though she promoted mass vaccination.
What do we make of this one?

Bit of a weird statement. I thought it was common knowledge to most educated people at that specific time that vaccines in general are about symptom immunity, not contagion immunity.
Lowered symptoms directly effects spread rate when aerosol is the delivery method so this fact, plus many studies support the claim that vaccines did/do reduce the spread, but a bit off to claim it prevents you from carrying it.
Saying it outright immunizes people from carrying is weird then… Since there was so much data to support it immunizes/mitigates symptoms. I would suspect that perhaps if the disinformation was intentional that it was perhaps a way to push people to be more comfortable going to events and working in person? It was a very frustrating time. Wish it had never become political.
