why would people say a vaccinated person can shed the vaccine to another person?

i dont know, i chuckled that twitter even decided that needed to be part of their policy.

I guess people say some silly shite.


Hey no need to get vaccinated, just go stand next to someone who recently was. Skip the line!

yes.

virus/vaccine.
I’m of the opinion they are interchangeable with no loss of meaning.

false or misleading claims that people who have received the vaccine can spread or shed the virus (or symptoms, or immunity) to unvaccinated people.”

So…. the vaccinated can only spread it to other vaccinated people?

They are twisting themselves into knots.

What conclusions can any rational person draw from the fact that there have been more cases and deaths this year with 70% of the population fully vaxxed than there were last year with 0% vaxxed?



Is that true? I've basically quit paying attention to the whole covid nonsense. But that's pretty interesting.

I think it’s far more likely that a team of west coast elite Twitter evangelists genuinely believed that you could not spread Covid after getting the vaccine and so they put it into company policy that you could not make that claim. Only after receiving wide-scale pushback did they actually do the most basic level or research. At which point they realized they were full of shite, but instead of implicitly admitting it by taking the policy down, they tried to hide it by tweaking the policy to replace virus with vaccine.


Impossible to know for sure, but personally, that story seems far more likely than one which claims that Twitter felt a genuine need to use their headline rules to explicitly forbid people from saying that the vaccine is transmissible.

It wouldn’t surprise me if they tried to hide an unequivocal error in their censorship efforts.

A COVID-19 vaccine can help protect your child and your whole family from getting COVID-19. Talk to your pediatrician or physician to make an informed decision.

Yes because it was never about actual facts, it's about narrative.

with covid "original flavor" the studies were showing that vaccinated people were almost at a 0% chance of spreading it

This wasn't true, either.

why does anybody twitter?

People who are caught up with all things politics think that places like Twitter only discuss politics.

There's a whole world in Twitter that has nothing to do with politics and is easy to avoid if you want to.

Twitter is the best place to get sports news, follow dudes whether it's NBA or NFL who talk sports and get news and stats and good info that you won't get anywhere else as a one stop shop.

I'd bet money that this is what happened. No one thinks the vaccine is transmissible and I don't imagine anyone has said such a thing.

No one is going to make such a policy out of anything other than sheer stupidity, or a walk back trying to cover up a very fact checked lie.
