? This is quite wide-spread and old news, and trivial to look up yourself before getting snarky.
> For people infected with the Delta variant, similar amounts of viral genetic material have been found among both unvaccinated and fully vaccinated people.

- n4r9 5y agoBeing vaccinated reduces the chance of getting infected in the first place. This is true even for the delta variant (although much more so for earlier variants) https://els-jbs-prod-cdn.jbs.elsevierhealth.com/pb-assets/Lancet/pdfs/s1473309921006484-1635425926927.pdf https://els-jbs-prod-cdn.jbs.elsevierhealth.com/pb-assets/La...
- mandmandam 5y agoThat doesn't take away from the truth of what I said - in fact it's covered at length in the very same link I posted. Sigh
- n4r9 5y agoYour link contained a speculation about the length of time for which vaccinated people are infectious. Mine is a study demonstrating that the chance of transmission to contacts is reduced. Surely probability of transmission is the key factor determining whether vaccination reduces the spread of the disease?
