Episode 38: How Vaccinated People Spread Delta - What the Science Says

Today I discuss the recent publication in the scientific journal NATURE that confirms vaccinated people are spreading the Delta variant up to three times more frequently than prior strains. The key finding was that the viral load in infected people was the same between the fully vaccinated and unvaccinated, meaning the ability to infect someone else was equal. This reinforces early theories by scientists around the globe that admitted this vaccine would not be able to stop transmission of SARS-Cov-2. Why is this important? If the main reason behind policy mandates—forcing millions out of their jobs and a right to education—is "public responsibility" to "keep others in the community safe", then this data proves that isn't happening or even possible. 📝 Article: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02187-1
