do you have a source for saying you're less likely to get it period if you've been vaxxed? never seen that anywhere. it was always about lessening symptoms

literally every news article when the vaccine came out for months , yes

 

[Poyser]

jeff you're talking shite mate lol, you havent provided any sources either

 

[Redboy123@]

News articles ahahah

Not specifically no, that's why I'm asking if you did bc you seemed confident it was a fact when I'm just going by what I'd heard lol thought you did more research than me

 

[Chris]

If what I'd heard is wrong educate me lol

 

[Chris]

You keep saying it doesn't reduce transmission at all but it seems like you just convinced yourself that bc people got vaxxed and got it still

 

[Chris]

If it's a very minuscule reduce in transmission I'd concede as well, doesn't have to be exactly 0% either

 

[Poyser]

nah just every article i read actually emphasised that it didnt stop you getting the virus, but reduced the chances of you being symptomatic, and almost eradicated the chances of you going to hospital. Thats why all the misinformation shit started, because people were pointing out that like 90% of the population has been vaxxed, yet the number of infections is still massively running wild and growing constantly. So the articles were all like its not going to stop infections, its going to stop hospital admissions, its going to stop you being ill etc

 

[Poyser]

yeah im not really arguing its 0% effect lol, but i think real world data shows it cleearly doesnt have much of an effect on transmission

 

[Canadian Dragon]

all of that information is only true about omicron though

 

[Poyser]

but omnicron is the dominant variant tho?

 

[Chris]

Yeah I think those articles were in response to people wondering why every infection wasn't stopped and the answer is because it doesn't 100% reduce transmission lol

 

[Poyser]

and that stuff was being said with delta too

 

[Canadian Dragon]

transmission literally went crashing down after the first shot, went back up with delta, back down after shot 2, then omicron took over and transmissions went back up.

 

[Canadian Dragon]

and that stuff was being said with delta too

after the 1st shot
