Vaccinated just as likely to spread delta variant within household as unvaccinated: study
TheHill ^ | 10/29/21 | Caroline Vakil

People who have received COVID-19 vaccinations are able to spread the delta variant within their household despite their vaccination status just as easily as unvaccinated individuals, a new study published on Friday shows.

According to the study published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases journal, people who contracted COVID-19 had a similar viral load regardless of whether they had been vaccinated. The study further found that 25 percent of vaccinated household contacts contracted COVID-19. while 38 percent of unvaccinated individuals were diagnosed with the disease.

Wait til they find out it is more likely to spread it.

Mock and ridicule the submitters for being so selfish, gullible and stupid. It remains to be seen what impact Dystopia Pandemic will have on the blood supply going forward, that they’ve enabled.

They’re having a terrible time understanding that these articles are an argument against vaccination, not for masks

“Vaccinated just as likely to spread delta variant within household as unvaccinated”

NO! Vaccinated MORE likely to spread delta variant within household (or anywhere else) as unvaccinated.

Because..... they carry a greater (10x?) viral load.

What is up with these people? (study people and the media)

The cat is out of the bag! You can’t put the genie back in the bottle. We know that you LIE!

And wouldn’t vaccinated people have fewer or no symptoms of the variant and be less likely to self-quarantine?

Baby steps. They now admit the jabbed can get and spread the virus.

The media is still running with Pre Delta varian data that shows “the vaccinated” are 20X less likely to spread the virus than “unvaccinated”. but that data is from over 6 months ago.

With Delta, vaccinated go to work because they don’t feel like crap and spread it to their co-workers.

This is what is happening right now in Singapore and the UK.

It’s beginning to make sense why there has never been a coronavirus vaccine. By the time it is approved, it doesn’t work anymore.

Wait- so the vaxxed can only spread it within a household?? Not a shopping mall or firehouse or police precinct? WOW! That’s some smart virus.

Up close and personal: Grandson, 24, double vaxxed, spread it to his Pureblood mother, (my daughter), 54, in the last couple of weeks. She’s just now into her 4th day since the $2000 infusion. (Big Pharma makes big $$ coming and going.)

• Just 3 months after vaccination, viral loads are just as high as those unvaccinated. Data from 602 UK community contacts finds that fully vaccinated individuals with breakthrough infections have peak viral load similar to unvaccinated cases and can efficiently transmit infection in household settings, including to fully vaccinated contacts (Lancet Inf Dis. 2021;Published:October 29 DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/S1473-3099(21)00648-4). An epidemiological analysis to assess the secondary attack rate (SAR) in household contacts exposed to the delta variant was 25% (95% CI 18–33) for fully vaccinated individuals compared with 38% (24–53) in unvaccinated individuals. The median time between second vaccine dose and study recruitment in fully vaccinated contacts was longer for infected individuals (median 101 days) than for uninfected individuals (64 days).

You can’t spread anything if you are well.

The vast majority of non-vaccinated people are well at any given moment. If they get sick, they usually know it early on, especially if they are adults. Some unvaccinated people are COVID survivors and immune and can’t spread it.

Vaccinated people can be sick, not know it and spread it.

Ergo: Vaccinated people are more dangerous than the unvaccinated.

Does that mean we have to wear masks inside and outside?

I really and truly can’t keep up with all this. I believe they want us confused.

I really enjoy watching the vaccine lie crumble on a daily basis.

"A vaccinated person may have the same viral loads as an unvaccinated person, but that high level of virus lasts only three to four days compared with an unvaccinated person who could be contagious for up to 10 days, said Suresh Mittal, professor of virology at Purdue University’s College of Veterinary Medicine."

I work for a large tech company. The argument from the lefties is that they need to mandate vaccines for all employees to prevent the vaccinated from bringing home COVID to their kids, who can’t get the vaccine. The logic is that if everyone is vaccinated, then they can’t bring home COVID, and their kids won’t get sick.

Problem is that their kids are exposed to God-knows-what in school/daycare/etc., and now, the vaccinated parents are spreading it all the same.

I won’t lie: I’m enjoying this shit show.

Three points:

From the article: “According to the study published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases journal, people who contracted COVID-19 had a similar viral load regardless of whether they had been vaccinated. The study further found that 25 percent of vaccinated household contacts contracted COVID-19. while 38 percent of unvaccinated individuals were diagnosed with the disease.”

The article confuses viral load with infectiousness. Other studies indicate that even though peak viral loads maybe similar, they decrease more rapidly in those vaccinated.

Only 25% contracted COVID versus 38% of unvaccinated. That’s a reduction of two-thirds.

The unvaccinated are far more likely to become infected increasing their probability of spreading the disease. If you’re not infected, you can’t spread it.

Then there is the fact that some studies do not show a correlation between viral load on the ability to infect others. Some do, some don’t.

A simple reading of the Lancet article says this:

“Findings The SAR in household contacts exposed to the delta variant was 25% (95% CI 18–33) for fully vaccinated individuals compared with 38% (24–53) in unvaccinated individuals. “
