That vaccinated people with breakthrough infections could sometimes transmit the virus wasn’t particularly surprising given the (CDC) data and anecdotes that had accumulated. However, that they had “the same capacity” to transmit it as an unvaccinated person certainly was, including to many experts. 

 

On July 31, a more systematic study (than the CDC Provincetown, MA study) from Singapore showed that viral load from Delta could get high but that it quickly peaked and then crashed in breakthrough cases among the vaccinated — as their immune system responded to quickly clear the virus. The potential infectious period lingered much longer in the unvaccinated.

Yeah screw those kids, Immune Compromised,Cancer survivors etc...who need them right? Main thing is we have lovely folks like you

This is certainly a bizarre sentiment coming from someone who has repeatedly questioned the need for vaccinations and resorts to citing dishonest information from dubious websites.

Will there be an investigation or an enquiring to establish how she managed to get back into Thailand whilst having Covid /delta ?

Possibly she traveled not knowing or testing positive at the time of travel.

But she must have gone into quarantine before being allowed home.

Maybe she passed it on to someone within the quarantine facility who then passed it on outside.. 

Who knows, the other thing to consider.. maybe it just mutated inside Thailand as it did in other countries, don't presume it had to come from someone.

that virus was detected at quarantine doesn't mean, that that case passed it around. In case of a new strain they would be screened very thoroughly before letting home.

There are hundred illegal immigrants from birma being stopped every single day. That's only tip of an iceberg, as 2500km land border in the jungle can't be controlled. Most likely thousands are crossing, partly because of the military coup and repressions. Pandemic in birma deteriorated fast,  because of health service collapse
