While moderating the symptoms of infection, the jab allows vaccinated individuals to carry unusually high viral loads without becoming ill at first, potentially transforming them into presymptomatic superspreaders.
This phenomenon may be the source of the shocking post-vaccination surges in heavily vaccinated populations globally.

Well, this is interesting …

Hi Frank,
ReplyDeleteWe've known this viral load issue about the Delta variant for some time. The initial viral load of a contaminated vaccinated person is similar to that of someone who caught the virus, but was unvaccinated. It's just much rarer that a vaccinated person would catch the virus in the first place, and then need hospitalization once infected. This study seems to want to frame the truth out of that context, and so I suspect corruption. It is only a portion of the truth, and so a type of lie targeted at the ignorant, that seems to be a call not to get vaccinated.
A vaccine is a vaccine with all the benefits of a vaccine. It helps the body create antibodies that fight off the virus, small pox, measles, mumps, etc. An important corollary of this is that when those vaccinated against Covid-19 do catch the virus, they are contagious on average for a shorter time than the unvaccinated. On this score, vaccination becomes urgent for any nation that is dealing with millions suffering and dying. Thus the US Supreme Court in 1908 decided to uphold the long tradition of vaccine mandates in Jacobson versus Massachusetts, a decision that has been challenged and upheld. It's how we do things in this great country, always has been, ever since we have had vaccines. Freedom to choose is liberty for all, not freedom to spread a deadly virus. The US Supreme Court decision took into consideration Jacobson's arguments for religious belief and the fear that the vaccine could possibly harm him and his family -- but there was a deadly pandemic on, which gave him no right to walk around in public unvaccinated.
As an aside, I also noted here a couple days ago that it appears that 3 or 4 drinks in women and men respectively and on average creates a situation whereby the antibodies are negated and the vaccinated become as if unvaccinated. New studies should be noting this, and researchers need to be asking this question of those contaminated both the vaccinated and unvaccinated, "Were you drinking?" Because surely the drinking suppresses the immune system in either case. The only debate is whether one drink helps, but an Indiana study showed no effect. Real scientific studies take what we already know into consideration. Thus, this study you cite is not only limiting in its discussion, but too old to be applicable.
If more people would vaccinate, less people would be getting sick, spreading and dying -- and also less people would need hospitalization when they catch it. The delta-contaminated unvaccinated person is 29 times more likely to need hospitalization than a vaccinated person. Death and suffering already note, we can now bring up the extraordinary financial cost of dealing with unvaccinated people. Yes, unvaccinated should be paying much more for the same health insurance coverage. That's in the news already. How about insurance companies opting out of life insurance policies for this recklessness?
Vaccinations keep the spread down, and if more people would choose the easy peasy act of getting the jab, therefore drastically reducing their chances of being menacing spreaders of death and suffering, we could, as a nation, patriotically defeat the virus.
