As of now, everyone, included the vaccinated are still disease spreaders.
- raverbashing 5y agoVaccines not cutting transmission in 100% are still a poor reason to not have everyone vaccinated. Anti-vaxxers pretend they worry about the ones who can't get vaccinated when they're actually who makes things unsafer for them
- imwillofficial 5y agoThis isn’t a question of cutting it out 100%, the data from Israel has the majority of new cases being those who are vaccinated.

- raverbashing 5y agoSorry about that dang, I see now how that comment didn't add much of value, and got carried away.
- dang 5y agoAppreciated!
- nomoreplease 5y agoI’m not sure why you’re downvoted, this is an accurate depiction. The vaccine does not prevent infection/transmission, despite lay people commonly believing it does.

- target8123 5y agothey are not same because vaccinated are less likely to be infected and hence less likely to spread disease. every vaccinated person is 40% less likely of getting infected compared to unvaccinated. so if a person goes to office with vaccine mandate, they are 64% less likely of getting infected compared to no vaccine mandate.
- AuryGlenz 5y agoThat very well could be balanced out somewhat by vaccinated people being less careful than non-vaccinated, and possibly by them being more likely to be asymptomatic (but still spreaders).
- imwillofficial 5y agoThis does not take into account the delta variant, and also viral load levels.
- kalaido 5y agoNot true. CDC claims same virus load in v/uv
- raverbashing 5y ago"The overall vaccine effectiveness against transmission was 88.5%." https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.07.13.21260393v1 https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.07.13.21260393v...
- imwillofficial 5y agoThis of course, does not include the new and improved delta variant.
