Even if all the vaccine does is prevent serious symptoms when a vaccinated person gets infected, the vaccinated are much less contagious than the unvaccinated and are contagious for a much shorter period of time.
Because it’s the symptoms that spread the disease. The coughing and sneezing et cetera. The worse they are and the longer they last, the more the infected person is spreading the virus.
“ the vaccinated are much less contagious than the unvaccinated and are contagious for a much shorter period of time.”
Source for this claim?
Shorter period during the particular height of illness they reach, but I had thought that studies had been done that indicated the “viral load” (walking around potency) of the vaccinated and the unvaccinated was the same?
