It’s strange to me that after a year in which we were constantly reminded in pre-vaccine days as to how asymptomatic victims could spread the disease, now in post vaccine days we’re supposed to believe that the vaccinated have reduced transmissibility because when they contract the virus, the vaccine makes their symptoms less pronounced.
While I’m not an anti vaxxer, only anti mandate, I think the pro vaxxers have over inflated the issue of transmissibility.
Let’s say it’s true that the majority of Covid patients are both first time virus victims (with no natural immunity) and unvaccinated. So they have the greatest transmissibility of anyone, right? That means vaccinated HCWs, who have the greatest possible resistance to the virus, can still pick up the virus and transmit it, even at a lesser rate, to other workers and patients. So— is that actually happening? Are there documented records of patients getting Covid in hospital, whether from HCWs or other patients? I’ll bet not; all hospitals have mastered the fine art of ass-covering. As I said before, it’s good publicity for hospital administrators to have universal vax. But for those who place faith in stats, we will never have accurate ones regarding hospital transmissibility, even though that’s a main argument for universal vax.
