303abuser well….. not according to the bmj article that Grant provided
“Vaccines aren’t preventing onward transmission by reducing the viral load—or amount of SARS-CoV-2—in your body.”
that article also makes the point that evidence for vaccines reducing the spread is mixed at best, and quite weak with regards the later variants.
my conclusions from this are 1. people who state “vaccines reduce the spread” as though it were a fact are effectively spreading misinformation and 2. there are a lot of anxious and concerned people at the moment who probably feel like they were coerced and possibly even misled into having a medical procedure that has harmed them.
personally i think it’s likely to be overblown and the risk of problems is probably still too low to make it anything other than a no-brainer to get vaccinated, in general and for most people at least.
but i remain steadfastly neutral and open-minded on the subject and i do believe the nexus is probably shifting a little here in favour of the anti-vax crew.
