> some research has shown that they don't do very well at stopping spread, so why all the fuss to force people to get vaccinated?

So why are they calling this the pandemic of the unvaccinated?

- https://www.healthline.com/health-news/risks-of-the-delta-va...

and the list goes on and on.

I have personally seen unvaccinated family members get sicker...plus countless of people mentioning the same.

My theory is that the vaccines are not stopping transmission, just reducing the effects -- enough that people don't even know they are carriers.

Then we re-opened everything and vaccinated (and others) stopped wearing masks. So in effect, coronavirus is spreading as if there were no masking or social distancing since those have ended. And by and large it is the unvaccinated who are paying the price.

I might be wrong, but at least my explanation is plausible.
