The new Lancet Infectious Diseases study finds vaccination reduces risk of infection relative to unvaccinated who have not previously been infected (they don’t compare risk to unvaccinated with a previous infection) but ...

crucially the study also finds “increased incidence of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic infection in vaccinated participants”

i.e. to the extent asymptotic transmission occurs, vaccinated carers who get infected may pose a bigger risk to residents than unvaccinated.
More evidence the Government's policy of sacking unvaccinated carers may have all sorts of unintended consequences ...

The researchers suggest the risk can be minimised by continued testing. Of course with testing, any risk from unvaccinated carers is also minimised.
But this finding is even more devastating for vaccine passports ...

Remember the Govt is planning only to allow vaccinated into nightclubs, football matches etc with no testing alternative.
On the basis of this study, vaccine passports might lead to a *higher* proportion of infected but asymptomatic people in crowded indoor venues ...

A final point: vaccine passports & sacking carers are predicated on asymptomatic transmission being common.
If that isn’t so, the finding that vaccinated-yet-infected are more likely asymptomatic may not matter. But of course it would also ruin the case for vaccine passports.
