It is absolutely baffling that people plain refuse to understand that getting a disease is a prerequisite for spreading a disease. Therefore, it is crystal clear that vaccinations help reducing the spread of the virus. As long as we are in the topic of conspiracies, how about the idea that the original spreader of the virus (China) and its allies is making it worse by spreading seriously harmful misinformation in English?

Here are some numbers from Denmark covering Omicron infections: About 90% of positive PCR tests are in fully vaccinated (double or triple). About 8.5% are in unvaccinated. About 75% of the population is fully vaccinated. About 24% is unvaccinated. Why are the unvaccinated underrepresented in Omicron infections?

  A few hypothesis, in order of preference: - Most of the infections come from "superspreader" events such as large gatherings where vaccination is mandatory - Children, who make most of the unvaccinated, are less affected - Vaccinated cases are detected earlier, possibly because they get symptoms earlier - Delta outcompetes omicron among people with no immunity

Being emphatic (or baffled) doesn't make your beliefs correct. In case you are just uninformed, lookup 'Typhoid Mary' for a famous example of an asymptomatic carrier of disease. Just because you aren't showing symptoms or dying doesn't mean you can't spread disease. That said, I'm not making a claim contrary to yours. But your claim seems based more on your intuition than on fact or history.

You clearly have not read much biology - this disease is a symptom of the presence of problematic protein entering people's body through their nose. The virus can replicate and spread from your nose without becoming symptomatic or spreading to other systems. Intramuscular vaccines do not prevent replication of proteins in your nasal passage, which is how covid spreads. Vaccines prevent symptomatic disease in most cases for most variants prior to omicron. Nasal administered vaccines like radvac still for work this reason.
