Even if you vaccinate your kid he will still get it and spread it. I don't understand why this fact is just ignored by people. The vaccine is not sterilizing, it does not stop transmission, only lessens disease severity. The chain of transmissions will only be broken by natural immunity unfortunately.
- nkrisc 5y agoThe studies I've read suggest reduced transmission ability by vaccinated individuals. If you know of ones that state otherwise please share them, I'd love to read them as well for a broader understanding. If in fact vaccination reduces transmission of the virus, then that's an advantage I'll stack in our favor, among other precautions like wearing masks.
- christkv 5y agoSure https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2116597 https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2116597 shows barely any reduction in transmissibility for alpha and delta. But but just looking at the numbers in high vaccinated countries already can tell you it. If transmissibility was significantly reduced you would expect this wave to be smaller than the last but it’s bigger.
