No, that's not what I wrote. Nobody from the CDC lied, but they certainly did not tell us that 6 months may be better for efficacy. I completely understand why they did what they did... one shot of the mRNA vaccines is not enough, so the quicker they could get you to two shots, but allowing just enough time in between, made sense at the time. The JNJ always should have been a 2 shot does, minimum. JNJ was inhaling too much baby powder when they said it was "one and done."
The reality is if you want to believe the worst in the govt, you likely will. I find that a bit odd, since you're in the military... but I know that somewhat oxymoronic thinking runs deep in the military, esp with Republican enlisted. The reality is, COVID was a Chinese GOF experiment gone awry. I'm as certain as I can be on this. It was developed to be a nasty respiratory virus, probably with military intentions in one of their Level 4 skunk works programs in Wuhan. You don't trust the US Govt, and I don't trust the Chinese govt. Getting COVID can lead to long COVID, which, can be debilitating. Even if you truly have concerns about the vaccine that has been used on hundreds of millions of people - safely, then so be it... but even so, I'd certainly take my chances with a US made, FDA approved, vaccine than I would take my chances on a Chinese govt developed SARS-like lab virus that has unknown long term health consequences.
