On Omicron spread:
Vaccines keep ppl out of hospital - their most important attribute
However, vax’d can be infected & transmit. Yes, vax slow spread but by no means does vax mean you can’t be infected & spread
This is critical to acknowledge as we try to limit Omicron spread

If public health officials fail to appreciate & acknowledge clearly that vaccinated can in fact acquire and spread the virus and that this is not rare, I fear ppl will continue to believe they can’t spread if they are vax’d and do less to limit spread of Omicron where it exists.
I am 100% for vaccination. I just want public health to be transparent about what vaccines do well and don’t do well so ppl are fully informed.
For too long messaging said transmission among vax was rare. This then caused confusion and loss in confidence in the vaccines.

Also,
This isn’t just about Omicron. This is about Delta too.
