[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can still contract Covid after receiving two vaccinations. Read about the Congressman who did.[/quote]

Was he symptomatic?

If this is a real risk, then there’s no point in vaccinating anyone.[/quote]

It doesn't matter.  He was just diagnosed, so we don't know yet if he's asymptomatic or presymptomatic, but in either case, COVID is transmissible asymptomatically and presymptomatically.  I know you really, really want to believe that vaccinated people can't transmit COVID even when positive, but the absolute FACT of the matter is that while it is currently being studied, the only true answer is WE DO NOT KNOW.

Of course there is a point in vaccinating.  The best vaccine has a 95% protection rate.  He's in the 5%.  Vaccine coverage in the population will greatly reduce cases and thus spread.[/quote]

DP. I actually think it does matter. The vaccines seem to have varying levels of protection against mild, moderate, and severe symptoms. J&J vaccine, for example, is 66% effective against moderate symptoms but much higher effectiveness against hospitalization and apparently 100% effective against death. Teachers are getting an even more effective vaccine than J&J.

So I'd very much like to know if the Congressman is asymptomatic or having only mild symptoms. Because that tells me that the vaccine actually worked.[/quote]

Onnnnnce again for the slow among you, that is only known to benefit the congressman, not the people he could infect.  THAT is what is relevant when trying to use his case to score points in an argument regarding opening schools.

But carry on with your willful ignorance.[/quote]
