...Austin said that he is fully vaccinated and received his booster shot in October, which he says has made the infection "much more mild."

But...but...he's not even supposed to be able to catch the bug with all of those injections.

Oh, yes you are. Get a load of this. If you're in a hurry, scroll down to the conclusions. Holy merde...

Nasal vaccination against SARS-CoV-2: Synergistic or alternative to intramuscular vaccines?

It is striking that all COVID-19 vaccines against SARS-CoV-2, presently approved by regulatory authorities, are administered by intramuscular injections. These IM injected COVID-19 vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 virus are predominantly designed to produce an IgG and cell mediated responses, preventing viremia and the COVID-19 syndrome. They have been shown to have a high degree of efficacy in humans (70–95%). However, as preclinical studies and as a recent clinical study have shown, they generally provide little protection against viral replication and shedding in the upper airways (38%–49% less likelyhood of passing on the virus compared to unvaccinated people), since such protection requires the presence of a local sIgA immune response."

Continued spread is not a bug, in other words, it's a feature.

Turns out that from a public health standpoint, protecting other people, best thing you can do is refuse to get vaxxed.
