How many v******ted spreading c***d? Oh yeah, I forgot, that don't count. We'll just say it's the unv******ted doing it. I wonder if any of those unv******ted belong to those 100's of thousands i******s Biden admin spread across the country? Oh no, I forgot, they won't be here long enough to spread c***d! Please show me evidence that everybody who got c***d in this situation, got it from the unvaxed, EVIDENCE, is not floppy lips!

How concerned should we be? Are v******ted people just as contagious as unv******ted? What does this mean for future plans for reopening?
These studies only show a similar peak v***l load, which is the highest amount of v***s in the system over the course of the study.
But v******ted people clear the v***s faster, with lower levels of v***s overall, and have less time with very high levels of v***s present.
Therefore, v******ted people are, on average, likely to be less contagious.
Let us explain.
While the peak load may be similar, v******ted people are likely to have lower v***l load overall, and therefore be less contagious.
Given v*****es speed the clearance of C***D from the body, v******ted people have less opportunity to spread the v***s overall.
This appears to be the case even with the more infectious Delta variant.
We know being fully v******ted reduces the likelihood of catching C***D even if the v*****es aren’t perfect (none are) and there are breakthrough infections.
While it’s difficult to estimate the rate of breakthrough infections accurately, studies have estimated they occur in 0.2% to 4% of people. In reality, this means that for every 100 v******ted people, somewhere between 0.2 and 4 of them would get C***D.
So, while in the rare instance where a breakthrough infection occurs, there may be a similar v***l load, and possibly a similar infectiousness, there remain much fewer v******ted people getting C***D.
