Once again the CDC putting giant holes in your false claims.
. The findings in this report are subject to at least two limitations. First, the number of reported COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough cases is likely a substantial undercount of all SARS-CoV-2 infections among fully vaccinated persons. The national surveillance system relies on passive and voluntary reporting, and data might not be complete or representative. Many persons with vaccine breakthrough infections, especially those who are asymptomatic or who experience mild illness, might not seek testing. Second, SARS-CoV-2 sequence data are available for only a small proportion of the reported cases.

Beginning May 1, 2021, CDC transitioned from monitoring all reported COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough infections to investigating only those among patients who are hospitalized or die, thereby focusing on the cases of highest clinical and public health significance. .

Once a person is infected, the adaptive immune system means the infection is cleared from the body more quickly in a vaccinated/previously infected person than someone with no existing immunity. This leaves a shorter period of time when the viral load is high enough to infect others. And this is borne out by the data.once again half truths. The elapsed time of vaccinated vs non vaccinated varies quite differently among the human body and is not clear
Cut across the board. On average yes but the data set is extremely limited.

immunisation with either the Pfizer or AstraZeneca vaccine reduced the chance of onward virus transmission by 40-60%key to note that number is rapidly declining as well now with the focus shift to actually putting time on analyzing vaccinated individuals.

Put the two together and a vaccinated person is between 76% and 96% less likely to infect another person than someone unvaccinated.your math and numbers are as terrible as you lies.

Edit - this is based on the data/studies we have done so far. There's evidence that protection against infection is a bit lower for Delta and a possibility that immunity to infection may wane over time. However, it's also been shown that a booster improves the efficacy against Delta.

So the takeaway shouldn't the absolute figures, which are prone to margins of error anyway. It's that vaccines do a LOT to reduce the spread of infection as well as protecting individuals against severe outcomes, but it's important that we keep our eye on the ball and be ready to use boosters and new vaccines to maintain our edge in this fight against covid.

So the takeaway is these numbers are rapidly declining with the shift of focus to vaccinated individuals but are still marginally higher than unvaccinated individuals AT THIS POINT IN TIME. THANKS FOR PLAYING GOOD NIGHT.
