Thie information about viral loads being higher in the vaxed isn’t new. The release of how much higher is new.
The information about it being a leaky vax is not new either. With that information, it’s easy to understand how the variants are coming from the vaxed.
This study says it’s 251 times higher than in March 2020. In the unvaccinated, the level is 1000x times higher.
- in a population that was basically a petri dish - unable to leave the hospital, surrounded by positive patients, and dormed with other nurses in close quarters for 60 days. A ‘hyper challenge’.
What it might point to is the need for first responders to continue testing until the pandemic is over. It was found in England that 10% of inhospital covid was acquired after admission and pointed to a breaches of infection control protocol by tired workers.
” 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....
... Breakthrough Delta variant infections are associated with high viral loads, prolonged PCR positivity, and low levels of vaccine-induced neutralizing antibodies, explaining the transmission between the vaccinated people. Physical distancing measures remain critical to reduce SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant transmission....”
I tried to explain this to my parents before they were vaccinated- Er... Injected. I explained how the shots will allow the virus to mutate and “learn” how to avoid the injection-created antobodies, making later infections harder to fight.
They didn’t listen, and I stupidly bowed to pressure from my doctor. Definitely regretting it.
