The vaccine reduces hospitalization and death, not transmission with new variants. That's why the CDC changed its mask guidance over the summer.

- objektif 5y agoWhy do you say that? Vaccines provides some immunity not 100%. If you are not sick you cannot transmit it.
- spurgu 5y agoWhoa. This goes against common sense. Stop and think for a bit: How would there be transmission going on in the world at all if there were no asymptomatic spread?
- coffeefirst 5y agoThis is false. Vaccines reduce transmission. What we've seen is Delta et al is the rate as which they reduce transmission is not nearly as good as they did for previous variants.
- spurgu 5y agoThey reduce at around 33% with Delta. Used to be 50% with Alpha. Not any breathtaking amount.
