Nothing about this page supports that claim. No-one ever claimed that getting vaccinated means that you are not _carrying_ the virus - simply that you're protected from becoming sick and expressing symptoms. The caution about "things you shouldn't do" is intended to protect at-risk people from asymptomatic carriers (which "vaccinated but still carrying" people are).
Can you elaborate on your claim?
- drcongo 6y agoIt's just something he heard on Joe Rogan.

- christiansakai 6y agoSo we gonna end up using mask and social distancing and not gathering indoors until the dawn of humanity? Genuine question.
- mttjj 6y agoThe "dawn of humanity" was many millennia ago. What are you referring to?

- scubbo 6y agoNo, we continue to only interact in ways that drastically drop the chance of propagating the virus until the virus dies out. Nothing in the guidance says that you have to "mask, social distance, and not gather indoors" - just to avoid actions that are _massively_ likely to spread a virus (from an asymptomatic carrier to either a potentially-symptomatic carrier - who a) will actually suffer from it, and b) will incubate and carry the virus for longer, thus spreading it to more people - or to a _bunch_ more asymptomatic carriers). A lot of people don't seem to realize that "vaccinated" isn't the same thing as "not carrying the virus". The virus is going to die off _faster_ in a vaccinated body, but not immediately. It still makes sense to be cautious (but not _so_ cautious) with that lower (but still non-zero) risk of being a carrier/spreader.
- spookthesunset 6y agoYou realize that with that logic this never ends, right? Plus you are basically saying that vaccines don’t work and are pointless. It’s borderline anti-vaxx to support your position.
- scubbo 6y agoI'm absolutely not saying that vaccines don't work. I'm saying that they prevent you from expressing symptoms and make the virus live _less long_ in your body, which in turn make you _less_ of a spreader, but still not 0%. With lowered spreading, the virus will eventually die out.
