Scott Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Thanks for the update. I think I saw some data that conflicts with this report. I'll see if I can find it. That said, there are breakthrough cases and I can't see how a person would not be contagious. The question is how contagious and for how long? I have always felt that until/unless children are vaccinated, there is little chance of getting the virus under control. We might not even with them vaccinated, but until they are they remain a wild card int he pandemic and likely reservoir for continued infections.

A favorite for anti-vaxxers and covid deniers. But, but, but, the double vaccinated can still spread the virus and potentially die! They leave out the fact unvaccinated are 11 times more likey to get sick or die, and spread the virus way more, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty much black and white. And the majority of us agree with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LosLobo Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 "Covid: Double vaccinated can still spread virus at home." "Individuals who have had two vaccine doses can be just as infectious as those who have not been jabbed." but then the report says that transmission rate from the vaccinated to the unvaccinated is higher than to the vaccinated. The article then goes on further to promote vaccination. The sequencing of the facts here would seem to promote negative sensationalism and confusion about the efficacy of vaccines something which is fodder to anti-vaxxers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffr2 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Many only look at the title and don't read the entire article. From that article: The Lancet Infectious Diseases work shows why getting even more people vaccinated and protected is important, they say. Unvaccinated people cannot rely on those around them being jabbed to remove their risk of getting infected, they warn. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sequencing of the facts here would seem to promote negative sensationalism and confusion about the efficacy of vaccines something which is fodder to anti-vaxxers. Which was why I pointed out the missing transmission rate for the unvaccinated. I suspect what the article is actually trying to do is promote vaccination of all within each household. I believe the target here is to get children vaccinated, for the reasons Scott has mentioned above. The lack of clarity is, as you suggest, fodder for the anti-vaxxers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
