That certainly is one of the major points I've heard people cite as justification for restricting the unvaccinated, which emerged since it became understood that vaccinated people could still be very infectious.
- vannevar 5y agoVaccinated people are significantly less likely to become infected, and once they do get infected, they are less infectious (see recent study results summarized at https://www.newscientist.com/article/2294250-how-much-less-likely-are-you-to-spread-covid-19-if-youre-vaccinated/ https://www.newscientist.com/article/2294250-how-much-less-l...). It's the dramatically reduced overall transmission rate among the vaccinated that confers the benefit of restricting unvaccinated people in public spaces.
- throwawaylinux 5y agoI didn't say otherwise, I'm saying "load on the healthcare system from unvaccinated getting sick" has been a major point people have been using to justify restrictions on the unvaccinated.
