You should still get the boosters because those will both A) help keep you from becoming ill at all, and B) not transmit it to others if you do.
Most other people aren’t in great shape. Wouldn’t you feel bad if you passed it to someone’s cute kid or lovely grandma and they got severely ill as a result?
You first start spreading, then you start feeling ill - about 2-3 days later. If you left your home within 2 days before noticing symptoms, you’ve been spreading covid.
The vaccine trains your immune system to generate antibodies that target the virus
When you get infected, those antibodies attack right away to keep the virus population low
With low viral load you literally have fewer viruses to spread to other people
If you’re not vaccinated (or not boosted for the correct variant) then the virus population blooms much more quickly and you get a higher viral load, meaning your coughs and sneezes are quite literally more contagious.
I think I probably agree with you about the efficacy of the vaccine, but this is a terrible reply to someone who actually provided you some kind of argument.
I started to read that article but it was a lot of charged language, and then when it got to the point about transmission it made the typical argument that they weren’t tested to see if they stopped transmission (the primary goal of the vaccination was to decrease hospitalization and death, so they didn’t test for this). I then realized how long the article was and lost interest. Can you quote the part of the article where they actually make the claim that it did not lower transmission?
Here’s a link to an actual study that claims it reduced transmission.
But even if that’s true (which I have a hard time believing considering the nature of vaccines), it’s been repeatedly proven that the vaccine does dramatically reduce both symptoms and life-ending complications.
How have you managed to avoid 2-3 years of the news mentioning that? It’s why “herd immunity” isn’t a thing for this disease yet, and why it’s still a problem despite the vaccine, and no, there isn’t enough anti vaxxers to explain it. I mean, for gods sake, there was literally ad campaigns imploring people to get the vaccine because transmission occurs regardless.
Because “Google”, an antivax opinion hitpiece with a single source about efficacy (yes there are other sources about absolutely nothing to do with transmission and more about how poor antivax folks are demonized, cmon dude), and what everyone “just knows” from the last two years are magic arbiters of truth…
Lol fuck off dude. Give me some actual sources/studies with no opinion whinging and I’ll bite.
Until then, you’re the very thing you keep writing everything else off as, conspiratorial nonsense.
You know a really effective way to reduce symptoms in case you get sick? Getting vaccinated. Just get your yearly flu and covid vaccination and your symptoms will be much less than without.

Quit spreading misinformation. It’s been extremely well documented that the vaccines do not prevent spread whatsoever.
They sure as hell do. Show your sources or GTFO.

Show yours, I’m not the one spreading bullshit to make myself feel better about a fucking security blanket. https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/science/articles/vaccines-never-prevented-transmission-covid-alex-gutentag
I’m not the one spreading bullshit to make myself feel better about a fucking security blanket.You’re literally doing that with antivaxxing. Holy projection batman.
No, I’m really not.

Would love to see your source on that.

https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/science/articles/vaccines-never-prevented-transmission-covid-alex-gutentag you can start here, after that, you know the google line. This isn’t conspiracy horseshit.
LOL. Your source is an antivax hit piece, with a single quote about unknown efficacy in 2020 tied behind a whole slew of conspiracy logic.
This is supposed to be painfully obvious?
Dude…
Yeah, sure, just ignore the links and references, pretend google doesn’t exist, pretend you haven’t read anything or watched any tv in 2 years, dude.

Always amazing how committed people are to believing lies. That “Hit piece” was literally riddled with links to sources.
