Because boostered individuals have a drastically reduced infection risk by 80%.
On top of they are 66% less infectious when being infected since they clear the virus twice as fast and 40% of their virus particles are dead.
This gives them an overall reduced risk of infecting someone else by 93%.

- wackro 5y agoThanks for the info and those links. There hasn't been nearly enough public information on _how_ jabs help. The rhetoric is always 'get jabbed because it protects health services', which despite being true, leaves a lot out. It also doesn't help that a lot of easily accessible information is contradictory and focuses on considering one's own heath rather than everyone's.
