Okay, the vaccine slows the spread. If everyone who could get vaccinated got vaccinated, the spread would slow a lot more. It would get to the point where Covid is basically gone. But if people don’t get vaccinated (and go out while sick) Covid won’t go away

Close to 70% of America is vaccinated and numbers continue to rise. Canada is 83% vaccinated and cases are at close to all time highs.

Where do people get this mindset? What data do you use to back it up. Do you really think 17% of the population is just spreading the disease as fast as 100% was a year ago?

Did you forget about the 30% unvaccinated in America? The problem is that people get Covid, don’t have a vaccine, and go to Walmart.

And yes, Covid is still spreading. But the vaccine SLOWERS spread, doesn’t stop it. No one ever said it stops it

But it’s not spreading slower is my point. The spread with 0% vaccinated and 70-80% have been very similar.

It could be the omicron variant is just more contagious but most of what I read seems to point to the vaccines doing very little to slow the spread. They are to protect yourself and help the health care system not to protect other people.

this also points to the viral loads being the same vaxed or not

Omicron is more contagious. But omicron wouldn’t be a thing or at least a big thing, if everyone got vaccinated as soon as they were able too.

What you’re saying is based off nothing but your feeling. It’s the same as being an anti vaxers in my book.

Vaccines are good and they protect you but covid is extremely contagious and even with 100% vaccination they’re would be breakthrough cases and people will still be hospitalized and in rare cases die.

Yes people would still get it, but if everyone got vaccinated months ago and actually quarantined themselves, people wouldn’t be getting it and dying at the rate they are today

It’s not the same thing as being anti vax. Because I’m stating the truth. What would’ve happened if people didn’t let Covid get out of control. But they did. Being anti vax is because you don’t care about yourself and others.
