The literal medical definition of invasive: ‘involving puncture or incision of the skin or insertion of an instrument or injection of foreign material into the body’
It’s not a subjective term.
Not everyone that that isn’t vaccinated is infected by default, and people that are vaccinated can spread the disease as well.
- salamandersauce 5y agoOf course not, but vaccinated people are not spreading it or getting it at the same rates, nor are they filling up ICUs and hospital beds at the same rates. That's the problem. Unvaccinated people are a minority of the population taking up the majority of hospital space which has lead to procedures and care being cancelled for others . It's only when the healthcare systems stop being at risk of derailed can we actually move past this.

The problem isn't the virus, it's the wholly inadequate socialized system.
