`The argument that vaccines don't prevent delta tranmission are based on headlines, not science.`
That is not the case.

"“The bottom line is, this can happen — it can be true that vaccinated people can spread the virus. But we do not yet know what their relative role in overall community spread is,” says co-author Thomas Friedrich, a virologist at the University of Wisconsin–Madison."
Vaccinations may (or may not) reduce the propensity of vaccinated people to spread Delta but it's very clear at this point vaccinated people can spread Delta to some degree.
- lamontcg 5y agoI'll help you out, here's a documented case of transmission from one breakthrough infection to another breakthrough infection to two more: https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/27/12/21-1792_article https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/27/12/21-1792_article It is 100% certain that some breakthrough transmissions can transmit onwards. If I know that, it should be very apparent that wasn't what I meant. There are people claiming that vaccines do not prevent any forwards transmission and that vaccination is 100% worthless for ending pandemic spread. Arguing that is wrong does not imply arguing for the exact inverse and that vaccines are perfect. I'm pretty sure that hell is the world where everyone argues in absolutes all the time and that I'm unfortunately living in it.
