The prevention of serious illness and lower death rates were what the vaccines were tested to do and the reason for their EUA. There are probably many reasons why "that is not what we were initially told." Just one of those reasons is that "we" are terrible at critical thinking and statistics and likely would have taken anything less than an announcement of an absolute cure as an admission that the vaccines don't work.
"They" needed good marketing. "They" might not have taken the time to even look at the test results. "They" needed to give us a reason to get the shots and slow the hospitalizations and deaths. We can certainly discuss whether the ends justified the means and I would probably agree that intentionally misleading Americans is never justified. But in the end, the vaccines did what they were tested to do and the rate of deaths dropped significantly among those who took the vaccinations.
