Do vaccinated breakthrough cases still cause superspreading events?
- shalmanese 5y agoYes, the Provincetown outbreak was a superspreader event that happened primarily amongst the vaccinated and what prompted the CDC to drastically revise their priors. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7031e2.htm https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7031e2.htm
- lamontcg 5y agoThe CDC paper does not use the phrase "superspreading" in that article. And it is not a superspreading event if 30 people show up to an event and 60 people get infected. It is a superspreading event if 1 person shows up to an event and 60 people get infected. And that case doesn't even prove the existence of purely vaccinated spread since 25% of the cases were unvaccinated and could have spread it more effectively to the 75% vaccinated. They didn't study the transmissibility from the vaccinated cases.
