> If you're vaccinated, you can still get and transmit covid. You just don't get as sick. The vaccine protects you. The vaccine reduces the chance you can get and transmit covid. 40-60% protection against infection, and even when there is a breakthrough case viral load declines faster than in an unvaccinated person meaning less chance and time to spread the virus to others. > So why these vaccine mandates?
