This is my hypothesis for why we are seeing such spread after a mass vaccine event. The moral hazard of a vaccine and negative test are more dangerous than Covid itself. 7 days of additional spread are exponentially more detrimental to the goal of stopping spread… which stops hospitalizations, which stops deaths and long covids.
Even if the “break throughs” are 1% of cases, if those 1% are 700% more transmissed through false hubris… it’s just like the early days of Covid.
- meheleventyone 5y agoI don’t know the reason the false negative nor how the rate differs between vaccinated and non-vaccinated nor do I know of any studies looking into it so this seems like a worry you’re concocting out of thin air. Particularly as we know the delta variant is more infectious so is a much more likely reason for any increased spread.
- anonymouse008 5y agoWhile I agree it’s an intuitive based hypothesis — a close cousin to concocting out of thin air - I don’t think it’s improper to attempt to find the proper weight to assign to additional days in public for its effect on a variants transmission vs it’s inherent mutations. Does that make sense?
