Vaccinated just as likely to spread delta variant within household as unvaccinated: study -

But we're now going round in circles. We've known from the beginning of this thread that vaccinated people can spread Covid. What's new? And, in the very link you provide, the conclusion is that more people need to be vaccinated so that fewer people suffer serious illness, hospitalization or death.
"Increasing population immunity via booster programmes and vaccination of teenagers will help to increase the currently limited effect of vaccination on transmission, but our analysis suggests that direct protection of individuals at risk of severe outcomes, via vaccination and non-pharmacological interventions, will remain central to containing the burden of disease caused by the delta variant."
As usual, we have the anti-vaxxer argument that relies on a medical study that actually says increased vaccinations are needed. It's nuts.

Now holding on to the last vestige of usefulness by saying that your not going to get as sick after vaccination.
I doubt that will hold on to be true for much longer either.
I'm sorry, but this is a ridiculous argument. No one has said you can't get sick after vaccination, but the evidence shows that vaccinations are very effective in preventing hospitalizations and death. Only you are moving the goalposts and I don't care what your opinion is about whether things hold on to be true, you are not an expert in the field whereas doctors and medical researchers are. Your opinion holds no weight.
