If we have a significant population of unvaccinated people, that provides the breeding ground for the virus to multiply and mutate into new strains that may bypass the current vaccine induced immunity which would require yet another round of vaccines.
- ghoward 6y agoVaccinated people are still breeding grounds for a virus; they can still be carriers. Vaccines just give people the antibodies to not be affected by a virus.

- ghoward 6y agoThat article gave no numbers. It made a claim and didn't back it up.

- ghoward 6y agoCool. Where does that dispute the fact that those who are vaccinated are still breeding grounds for new variants of the virus?
- _joel 6y agoIf they shed less then they are less transmissible, it's in the article. It isn't about completely erradicating tranmission but bringing it to a level where the problem receeds. It's statistics, not a binary thing.
