“Viral loads of breakthrough Delta variant infection cases were 251 times higher than those of cases infected with old strains detected between March-April 2020,” the preprint paper reads.
While it is true that vaccines were not available at that time, the study was designed to compare how different strains of coronavirus impacted viral load, not vaccination status.
So, it is true that the viral load in Astra-Zeneca vaccinated people IS 251 times higher than that of the first first form of COVID-19, but since the study was not designed to show this, the AP and the authors want everyone to know ‘you really shouldn't draw such a conclusion, because we don't like you accidently finding out the truth.’
Absolutely BOGUS!
Sounds like it was written by the FR VPs.
Same lingo, phrases, etc.
🤔
251x
I’d offer that the viral load of Delta has been reported as high as 1000x the viral load of Wild Wuhan in half the time
so 251x is 1/4 of what would be expected, and shows there’s good infection control within that hospital/group of HCWs
