    As mentioned in the post above, a vaxed healthcare worker can transmit the virus just as easily as unvaxed. That argument doesn't hold.

    Ah yes. Like Holocaust deniers who say 6 million Jews mysteriously died of other causes.

    This is funny, because some on the forum label people something they are not, like @crandc

    Who on this forum is ANTI VAX? I haven't seen one poster who is.

    You can mention it but that doesn't make it true.

    sure, but the poster you replied too was presumably asking someone in the forum "can antivaxxers...." or was she talking into the ether?

    I thought she was speaking in general. She mentioned no names. She did not say how do the antivaxers in this forum...she said how do antivaxers...so in general. It's a valid question.

    We're having a discussion on a forum with other people, if she wasn't talking/asking someone that is on this forum, then I misinterpreted, but that's kinda weird

    "Who become infected."

    A smaller, by a good degree of vaccinated people become infected than non vaccinated. Yes, there are breakthrough cases, but they are rare.

    Yea, you cannot assert that "by a smaller degree". Since vax people are asymptomatic, they will by definition not get tested. You cant have it both ways. Breakthrough "cases" are only present in those that have symptoms and get tested. Which of course in my opinion proves to the efficacy of the vax itself.

    its a passive aggressive way of calling people out without directly calling someone out. It happens all the time on this board.
    Its a preemptive, to then be able to spin and avoid responsibility of said statements.

    some peoples’ opinions are claimed as facts around here though. Been getting more and more that way over the last 18 months or so.

    and thats a fact! Lol

    Lol " research".Oh yea nature.com the leading resource on Covid.

    Time infected and total virus load are the factors that contribute to someone's ability to infect someone else.

    1. A vaccinated person is much less likely to become infected.

    2. A vaccinated person is contagious for a much shorter time and carries less total virus load.

    Just because it's possible does not make it equal.

    While it is possible for a vaxed person to spread covid, the vaccine reduces both asymptomatic and symptomatic infection by 79%. On the other end of the spectrum non vaccinated people are spreading the virus at alarming rates.
