Vaccinated people still spread the covid and vaccinated people still get covid. Most of my friend group was infected when two vaccinated friends came up to visit. They said they were feeling sick but because they were vaccinated it was fine. I think everyone in the group but 1 person was vaccinated.

The idea that once you are vaccinated you don't need to social distance or wear a mask is wrong and is getting people sick. In fact a vaccinated infection appears to have the same viral load as an unvaccinated. https://www.ucdavis.edu/health/covid-19/news/viral-loads-sim...

If I'm out in public, I wear socks everyday (well most), I wear a shirt, I wear pants. Its not much of a stretch to wear a mask out in public too.

Vaccinated people don’t take up hospital beds. That’s the resource that’s constrained.

Vaccinated people also have a lower rate of transmission.

Your first statement is categorically false. https://dph.illinois.gov/covid19/vaccine/vaccine-breakthroug...

Your second statement is categorically false. See my comment above... you know the one you responded too. It actually links to a study showing the viral load is the same. Or here is another study: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3...

Please stop spreading misinformation. Saying vaccinated people have a lower chance of getting covid is a true statement. However both of your statements are straight up misinformation.

No, they're not. You can try to split hairs and talk about how the rates are just lower, sure, but vaccinated people are not taking up beds (like the unvaccinated are).

Please take a look at the rest of the thread for sources that vaccinated individuals spread covid at lower rates than the unvaccinated.

Please stop spreading antivax FUD.

The vaccine protects you but still allows you to carry and spread a viral load. The mask protects people around you but not yourself but limiting the viral load that you can spread.

By being a vaccinated unmasked person in a crowd of non-vaccinated people, you possibly become a super spreader.

The vaccine drastically reduces your chance to spread the virus.

A more charitable reading is that the people involved in OP's story suck.

That’s a misreading, because GP explicitly calls out OPs behavior as bad.
