1. They aid the spread of the disease, being like rats in the bubonic plague, you are 80% more likely to spread covid un-vaccnated than vaccinated.
But now they have 80% less chance of having it?
3. Un-vaccinated occupy the health system unecessarily. Through choice they clog up the health infrastructure from ambulance call outs to hospital beds and staff.
SInce the vast majority won't need it, soon it won't matter if the odd unvaxxed is in hospital. Isn't that the whole point of made up targets like 80% and 90%?
In the new study, researchers focused on the transmission of the Delta variant within households, a
common setting for coronavirus transmission.
Researchers analyzed data from 204 household contacts of 138 people with a Delta infection.
They found that household contacts who had received two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine were less likely to contract an infection with the Delta variant than unvaccinated people.
According to the analysis, 25 percent of vaccinated contacts exposed to a household member with an infection contracted one themselves.
In contrast, 38 percent of unvaccinated contacts got an infection.
So you are safer, but not by much.
However if you do get it, you are just as likely to pass it on.
Although fully vaccinated people were less likely to contract an infection, when they did — what’s known as a breakthrough infection — they can transmit the Delta variant at a similar level as unvaccinated people.
Researchers found that 25 percent of household contacts exposed to a fully vaccinated person in the household contracted an infection themselves.
Of those exposed to an unvaccinated household member, 23 percent contracted an infection.
“Breakthrough infections in fully vaccinated people can efficiently transmit infection in the household setting,” wrote the study authors.
Researchers suspect this has to do with the coronavirus replicating similarly in vaccinated and unvaccinated people — at least at the start of the infection.
As part of the study, researchers also measured the viral load — how much virus is in the body — of people who contracted an infection.
The peak viral load was similar for both vaccinated and unvaccinated people. It was also similar for people with an infection with different variants.
So the gulags aren't going away.
