Study: Fully Vaccinated Healthcare Workers Carry 251 Times Viral Load, Pose Threat to Unvaccinated Patients, Co-Workers

A preprint paper by the prestigious Oxford University Clinical Research Group, published Aug. 10 in The Lancet, found vaccinated individuals carry 251 times the load of COVID-19 viruses in their nostrils compared to the unvaccinated.

I'll just leave this here. Wonder what will happen when I put it on FB?

Do not let facts get in the way of the agenda.

It‘s junk science until CNN tells us otherwise.

Don’t hold your breath.

I don't like how they are comparing Delta to 2020 variant. Delta supposedly has a much higher viral load compared to other strains. But I don't doubt that vaccinated are spreading, maybe even super spreaders, but this article doesn't paint a real clear picture.

Full Disclosure: I did not read the study.
So 2 people standing in the same room breathing the same air with no masks and one is vaccinated... and the vaccinated person carries more virus in their nose?

Real clear pictures are hen's teeth these days.

From just reading the overview, it sounds like the vaccinated patients who DO have breakout infections are found to have high viral loads and prolonged symptoms. That doesn’t necessarily sound like all vaccinated people have higher levels of the virus. Without studying vaccinated people who haven’t tested positive, there’s no way to know. It seems to me to suggest that if the viral exposure is extremely high, the vaccine can’t fight it off right away and infection results. All recovered uneventfully, so that seems encouraging. Sample size was only double digits though, so take whichever interpretation you choose with a grain of salt.
