First, I never said that the vaxxed would never get covid. I said their chances of getting covid were very, very, very small. I also said it was very, very, very likely that they would be asymptomatic and their viral load would be so low that there would be a very, very, very low chance of them, if infected, passing on the virus.
Those factors do not apply to the unvaxxed who if they do get the covid it is very likely they would infect their fellow unvaxxed passengers resulting in an outbreak, an early termination to the cruise, possible quarantine even for the vaccinated, and potentially an end to all cruises for the foreseeable future. It is rather selfish for the unvaccinated to impose those kinds of risks on the rest of the passengers.
A cruise is an optional activity. If some don’t want to take the vaccine, then there are other options for their leisure.
BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF VACCINES:
Vaccine does NOT crate a plastic airtight bubble around you.
If you are exposed to an infected person, the virus will enter your lungs. The difference is, your body will be much better prepared to fight it. You are unlikely to get so sick as to need a ventilator in an isolated area of hospital.
Unvaccinated passenger could be symptom free when boarding, but after incubation period could get seriously sick and exude lots of virus material.
