Have you not read the study? The article is very misleading. Breakthrough cases DO NOT carry 251X the number of viruses as unvaccinated people. Fake news.

From the study....

https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3897733

.... 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.....

As in....Delta variant = the “VAX”d = 251 x higher than OLD strains...aka original strains/un”vax”d.

So, NOT fake news.

The study doesn't separate how much the 251X increase is from Delta (versus the old strains) and how much from being vaxed. The evidence is that vaccines do nothing (pro or con) regarding Delta

Data from COVID-19 tests in the United States, the United Kingdom and Singapore are showing that vaccinated people who become infected with Delta SARS-CoV-2 can carry as much virus in their nose as do unvaccinated people. This means that despite the protection offered by vaccines, a proportion of vaccinated people can pass on Delta, possibly aiding its rise.

The article implies and was interpreted by many in this thread to mean that breakthrough infections produce 251X the viral load versus infected, non-vaccinated patients.

Glad you unlike so many others understand the paper.

That's right. But they keep pushing the mRNA stuff on us, even though we had the bug.
