Vaccinated People Easily Transmit COVID-19 Delta Variant in Households: UK Study
The Epoch Times ^ | 10-28-21 | Jack Philliphs

The Delta COVID-19 variant can easily transmit from vaccinated people to their household members, said a UK study on Thursday, although top health officials concluded that vaccinations and boosters are the way forward.

A study from the Imperial College London found that the Delta variant is still highly transmissible within a vaccinated population.

“By carrying out repeated and frequent sampling from contacts of COVID-19 cases, we found that vaccinated people can contract and pass on infection within households, including to vaccinated household members,” Dr. Anika Singanayagam, co-lead author of the study, said in a statement.

The findings, she added, provide some insight into why the Delta variant is “continuing to cause high COVID-19 case numbers … even in countries with high vaccination rates.”

An analysis found that the viral load declined most rapidly for those who were vaccinated with the Delta variant compared with those who are unvaccinated, according to the researchers.

But the peak levels of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which causes COVID-19, in vaccinated people were similar to levels in unvaccinated people, they found, adding that it might be the reason why the Delta variant can spread despite vaccination.

And because the Delta variant can spread easily among vaccinated people, another researcher involved in the study, Dr. Ajit Lalvani, argued it is necessary for people to get the vaccine or boosters to reduce severe COVID-19 symptoms.

“We found that susceptibility to infection increased already within a few months after the second vaccine dose … so those offered a booster should get it promptly,” Lalvani said.

Their study, which surveyed 621 participants, found that of 205 household contacts of people who had the Delta infection, about 38 percent of household contacts who were not vaccinated tested positive. That’s compared with 25 percent among those who were vaccinated.

In the study (pdf), published in The Lancet, the Imperial researchers didn’t make any mention of prior COVID-19 infection, known as “natural immunity,” among unvaccinated individuals who were surveyed.

Amid the push to get large swaths of the population vaccinated, some immunologists and doctors have argued that natural immunity needs more research and should be factored into policy decision-making.

Steve Templeton, an immunologist with Indiana University’s school of medicine, wrote that “the key to ending the pandemic has always been the immune system.”

“The fact that so many have recovered from infection and that robust, durable, and protective immunity in those individuals has been unequivocally proven should be considered a good thing,” he said in an article dated Oct. 22, adding that “there appears to be a drive to cancel the term ‘natural immunity,’ a pretense that the vaccinated need fear the unvaccinated, and an unwillingness to treat the public as adults that can handle nuanced information and make decisions regarding their health.”

So what exactly is the point of this not a vaccine shot?

It’s to make the Deep State and the Administration happy, of course.

Says vaccinated people are infecting other vaccinated people!

Almost like the fake vaccine doesn’t really work at all, isn’t it? 🤪

So because the Biden Democrat’s have decided to use Covid as the scapegoat for the consequences of their bad monetary, fiscal and energy polices we all have to get a not a vaccine shot which will not fix covid and thus not solve any of the problems created by the Biden Democrats bad policies.

The world truly has gone mad.

Can we end employee mandates then?

(No, supposed reduced symptoms is not a reason to keep them.)

Do they test what variant it is?

Or do they just select whatever is convenient for the narrative they are trying to construct?

Studies show that eating rat turds has no effect on the incidence of genital warts. Authorities maintain that people should still eat rat turds because genital warts remains a serious condition.

More money for the pharmaceutical companies to make up for what they lost when President Trump got prescription prices lowered.

Makes one wonder what’s in the ‘shot’. Saline?
(Getting money and possibly depopulating at the same time?) What a plan!

Have the ‘most reliable’ CDC ever said what’s in all those ‘different’ vacs?
They give all side effects of medicine in TV ads.

These immunologists apparently don't want high paying jobs at Pfizer or Moderns.

“study from the Imperial College London found that the Delta variant”

I have never had anyone be able to tell me what variant they had. My question is, when they make a statement like that above about what variant, how credible is it? I don’t know.

PLUS… “SHEDDING” of viral gene therapy treatments from one human to another is confirmed even by the FDA themselves (I’m not making this up). It’s right on the FDA website for anyone to see….

“ Shedding raises the possibility of transmission of VBGT or oncolytic products3 from treated to untreated individuals ”…

The PCR test can't tell you if you have a cold, super cold, WuFlu, actual Flu, or are a grapefruit, so who knows what people tested positive for, let alone died with?

It does work.

It infects them so they can infect others and keep it going.

If genome sequencing shows that, say, 98% of cases in a given area are delta variant then there is a pretty good chance that an infected person from that area has delta.
