Alternatively, I'd be much more comfortable going out if I knew everyone around me would be vaccinated.

  But a lot of them can still be positive (i think 30% with AZ vaccine), and somehow noone tests the vaccinated ones, so you'd never know, and most of them are asymptomatic, so they don't even know it. I got my vaccine early on, and haven't been tested since.

    Still a lot of unknowns, but seems pretty clear that vaccinated people are less likely to contract and spread. So I like my odds better among a vaccinated crowd.

      User timr was presenting a study upthread that the odds of contagion are , as of right now, basically equal between vax and no vax. This was based on the fact the same level of virus load was found in both populations that were infected.

        > that were infected These are the key words. But the odds of being infected in the first place are lower if you are vaccinated. So given a choice to spend time with a vaccinated stranger or an unvaccinated one, you should prefer the former if you want to avoid getting sick.
