re: CDC says vaccinated people can transmit covid just as easily

What is the reason now that we know anyone can spread it?

Because vaccinated people have been shown to have much less serious symptoms

We don’t stop people from smoking even though it will kill them. Why do we care if they choose to take their chances with covid?

This is where I’m at. Continuously publish real data showing hospitalizations and deaths and make sure it’s broken out as to % vaccinated and unvaccinated.

Stop all the fear mongering, stop the guilt trips, stop the nanny state. Let people make their own calls. If you don’t want to mitigate the hospitalization risk, that’s on you. You own it.

An asymptomatic person isn’t spreading the virus

An asymptomatic vaccinated or asymptomatic unvaccinated?

Also, according to new cdc guidelines, apparently they can.

The new guidelines just mention what was already known. Asymptomatic literally means that you’re carrying a virus but simply not showing symptoms. If you’re carrying it, you can spread it. That simple, obvious fact seems to be too difficult to understand for some people.

Alex needs to report back in 2 weeks. If the cases keep rising but hospitalizations don’t, we have hard proof case numbers are a bullshite metric to track and make decisions on and proof vaccines mitigate serious symptoms.

We already know both of these things as fact but people are dumb and naive.

You and I know these things. It seems like our government knows half and and a lot of internet knows the other half. It’s fricking nuts

So is the CDC just recommending these guideline changes out of an abundance of caution? If you don’t spread COVID-19 as asymptomatic and most/large amount of vaccinated people are asymptomatic, why are they recommending vaccinated people get tested even if asymptomatic?

---

The vaccine was never promoted as being 100% effective, even against the original strain. It’s less effective against Delta. As a result, if you’re exposed with or without the vaccine, you can still catch it, so you should get tested according to the CDC. However, it’s still considerably less likely that you’ll catch it with the vaccine.

Vaccinated people cannot transmit the virus as easily as the unvaccinated. The thread title and conclusion is simply wrong. You’re far less likely to carry it if you’re vaccinated, so no, you cannot transmit it as easily if you’re not as likely to catch it in the first place.

But I thought asymptomatic vaccinated individuals can’t spread it. Is that no longer the case? How did they prove it in 21 days since it was July 8th that they recommended vaccinated asymptomatic people do not need to get tested.

---

Yeah if they were wrong, that's such a huge fail. And if they're lying now, that's some legit authoritarianism.

This is false. You still catch it. You still get the virus in your system and can spread it. It’s why so many “cases” are asymptomatic people who got the vaccine. What the vaccine does is teach the immune system to eradicate it when you DO catch it. The viral load is lower. Yes, that makes you less likely to spread it because you are carrying fewer virus cells and they’re in your system for a shorter time, but you can still spread it just as easily. That’s the difference.
