More indication that the vaccinated are more similarly contagious as the unvaccinated than thought (but for shorter time and, of course, less likely to be hospitalized and die)
On the one hand, similar viral load doesn’t necessarily mean similar contagiousness, and household studies have the property that rate of viral spread matters less than in other spaces.
On the other hand, one more indication that vaccines aren’t silver bullets.
(I rephrased and integrated the tweet posted 20 mins ago for completeness, ht @maintcraft)
The above is why it’s important to have a focus on risk, not purely on vaccination status

POST-mortems are asked after the problem hurt you. "Why did the project fail, and what can we do better next time?"
PRE-mortems are asked before the problem occurs. "Let's imagine the project failed. What could have happened?"
With pre-mortems, you have time to react.
Pre-mortems don't have to be just negative. They can be positive too, such as: "Let's imagine that the project was wildly successful, well above our expectations. What would we have done today that made it succeed?

They are elected representatives. You want to override someone’s representatives. Who’s the fascist?
Fascists are denied by reacting strongly to any violation of rights / constitution, regardless of the color of the shirt of the one committing it. This is one of such.
Italy seems to be planning not to accept COVID tests anymore for its Green Pass.
Terrible, because most jobs require a Green Pass.
I’m against any restriction that doesn’t focus on risk.
IMHO legislation should be agnostic as to how I’m reducing risk, whether it’s through vaccines or test + masks.
Also, I’m slightly afraid of the restrictions that can be accepted by a population of 80% of vaccinated who’s suggested, “restrict the unvaccinated more or lockdown again”.
Hence the importance to talk in terms of risk, not vaccine.
Some red flags from some of the studies:
- “non-fit mask were used”
- “participants lived in university residence halls” – unless they wore masks also during dinner, transmission could have occurred then
This review is bullshit. It’s like studying whether car brakes work and including incidents where the driver was using his phone and didn’t brake
