If they get infected. Which is less likely.
But yes, the Delta variant is worse, we have to stop it spreading by all means, so mask up!
- karmakaze 5y agoThere's no 'if' about it--since the vaccinated are carrying as much virus in their noses they're still spreading it.
- SideburnsOfDoom 5y ago> since the vaccinated are carrying as much virus in their noses Only if they catch COVID, which is much less likely after vaccination. What, are you assuming that everyone is carrying COVID in their noses all the time?
- SideburnsOfDoom 5y agoI think there is a miscommunication here: There's no 'if' about "should people, even fully vaccinated people mask up" - yes they should because they _might_ be carrying the COVID-19 virus, albeit at a lower chance of infection than unvaccinated people. And if they are infected. which is less likely but does happen, they will still carry and spread COVID. That's where the "if" goes.
