FDA Approves First Covid-19 Vaccine

No, getting vaccinated is not stops anyone from transmitting disease, it is obvious. Virus gets to breathing system of vaccinated people same as for unvaccinated, and replicates there for 4-6 days. Then they either have a vaccine breakthrough, or vaccine-boosted immune system kicks in and defeats the virus in next 2-3 days. All this time the vaccinated host is as dangerous for others as unvaccinated.

I hope you didn't know it or didn't think it through, otherwise mention of Fox News seems to me a blatant hypocrisy. Either way it was an unnecessary ad hominem attack.

I really hope this will turn out to be true, but:

> Ct-values decreased throughout the first 3 days of illness.

Days of illness are those 3 days "when immune system kicks in and defeats the virus", as I wrote. When host is ill, it is obvious and things like masks and social distancing are being used. But not for those 4-6 days of asymptomatic virus replication, when most transmissions are taking part.

You're linking to a non-reviewed pre-print. But OK, from that same study: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E9Zxoh5X0AMqYCI?format=jpg&name=...
