Fully CoVid-Vaccinated Persons Do Trigger Spreader Events
Vidcast: https://youtu.be/Z5oopP1-PhE
The Delta CoVid variant triggered a huge spreader event on Cape Cod in association with this year’s 4th of July holiday. A comprehensive epidemiological evaluation of those infected by researchers at Harvard and MIT determined that the majority of those infected and spreading the infection were fully immunized against CoVid.
Genetic analyses were obtained from the viruses infecting 467 persons of the 1,098 outbreak cases associated with multiple 4th events including many indoors. The data showed that the super-spreader was powered by 40 individual sources of Delta CoVid yet 83% of the outbreak cases were attributable to a single person spreading CoVid during 25 separate transmission events most involving vaccinated persons as both secondary spreaders and victims.
The bottom line: even if fully-vaccinated you can contract CoVid and spread it if you don’t mask and distance, particularly indoors.
