Complete bullshite. The website you linked said this:

quote:

The study found vaccinated individuals carry 251 times the load of COVID-19 viruses in their nostrils compared to the unvaccinated.


That is NOT what the fricking study said. Let's quote the study:

quote:

Between 11th–25th June 2021 (week 7–8 after dose 2), 69 healthcare workers were tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. 62 participated in the clinical study. 49 were (pre)symptomatic with one requiring oxygen supplementation. All recovered uneventfully. 23 complete-genome sequences were obtained. They all belonged to the Delta variant, and were phylogenetically distinct from the contemporary Delta variant sequences obtained from community transmission cases, suggestive of ongoing transmission between the workers. Viral loads of breakthrough Delta variant infection cases were 251 times higher than those of cases infected with old strains detected between March-April 2020. Time from diagnosis to PCR negative was 8–33 days (median: 21). Neutralizing antibody levels after vaccination and at diagnosis of the cases were lower than those in the matched uninfected controls. There was no correlation between vaccine-induced neutralizing antibody levels and viral loads or the development of symptoms.


Notice how it said "uninfected" controls, not unvaccinated. This study took place at a hospital in Vietnam. ALL the participants were healthcare workers, so I am sure they all were vaccinated. The study did not mention anywhere (that I can find) that the control group was unvaccinated.

What the paper says (as I highlighted in bold) is that people infected with Delta have a 251 times viral load compared to people infected with the Wuhan strain in 2020. That's all it says. Nowhere does it say the vaccine "caused" the higher viral load. You would need an unvaccinated control group for that which they didn't have. (In fact, it would be highly unethical to run a study in 2021 with an unvaccinated control).

yea you gotta just go ahead and abandon all sense of logical data interpretation when discussing with anti-vaxxers.

theyll just go ahead and run with a headline from a notorious anti-vax propaganda group and Vehemently ignore the actual data and study that the headline was fabricated from.

It's unfortunate that there are folks here who will read the thread title, believe it, and move on.
