The CDC said outdoor transmission was probably less than 10%. The New York Times points out that figure is far too high, "In truth, the share of transmission that has occurred outdoors seems to be below 1 percent and may be below 0.1 percent, multiple epidemiologists told me."

"Saying that less than 10 percent of Covid transmission occurs outdoors is akin to saying that sharks attack fewer than 20,000 swimmers a year. (The actual worldwide number is around 150.) It’s both true and deceiving."
I also found it problematic that Paul Duprex said, “These vaccines teach the body to remember one of the coronavirus’ defining features — its spike protein — and prompt the creation of antibodies that can prevent it from infecting cells.” Beyond merely remembering, these vaccines induce the cell to produce this foreign protein. If there is some kind of feedback loop to stop it eventually, I’d like to read about it, but so far, I haven’t found anything.
