High COVID-19 vaccination rates were expected to reduce transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in populations by reducing the number of possible sources for transmission and thereby to reduce the burden of COVID-19 disease. Recent data, however, indicate that the epidemiological relevance of COVID-19 vaccinated individuals is increasing. In the UK it was described that secondary attack rates among household contacts exposed to fully vaccinated index cases was similar to household contacts exposed to unvaccinated index cases (25% for vaccinated vs 23% for unvaccinated). 12 of 31 infections in fully vaccinated household contacts (39%) arose from fully vaccinated epidemiologically linked index cases. Peak viral load did not differ by vaccination status or variant type [
]. In Germany, the rate of symptomatic COVID-19 cases among the fully vaccinated (“breakthrough infections”) is reported weekly since 21. July 2021 and was 16.9% at that time among patients of 60 years and older [
]. This proportion is increasing week by week and was 58.9% on 27. October 2021 (Figure 1) providing clear evidence of the increasing relevance of the fully vaccinated as a possible source of transmission. A similar situation was described for the UK. Between week 39 and 42, a total of 100.160 COVID-19 cases were reported among citizens of 60 years or older. 89.821 occurred among the fully vaccinated (89.7%), 3.395 among the unvaccinated (3.4%) [
]. One week before, the COVID-19 case rate per 100.000 was higher among the subgroup of the vaccinated compared to the subgroup of the unvaccinated in all age groups of 30 years or more. In Israel a nosocomial outbreak was reported involving 16 healthcare workers, 23 exposed patients and two family members. The source was a fully vaccinated COVID-19 patient. The vaccination rate was 96.2% among all exposed individuals (151 healthcare workers and 97 patients). Fourteen fully vaccinated patients became severely ill or died, the two unvaccinated patients developed mild disease [
]. The US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) identifies four of the top five counties with the highest percentage of fully vaccinated population (99.9–84.3%) as “high” transmission counties [
]. Many decisionmakers assume that the vaccinated can be excluded as a source of transmission. It appears to be grossly negligent to ignore the vaccinated population as a possible and relevant source of transmission when deciding about public health control measures.

A VERY FANCY WAY OF SAYING THAT THE VACCINES SIMPLY DON’T WORK — but peer reviewed and published in THE LANCET which gives it credibility
Which is another way to say
DAMN THINGS DON’T WORK WORTH A SH!T
Good. Then get rid of the f***ing vax passports NOW!
GMG — we all know the vax passports have nothing to do with health and the fact the injections don’t work is only news to those that have believed the government and MSM lies. It has NEVER been about health, just an incredibly well executed con job leading to digital ID providing total control to TPTB. But you already knew all this…….
Ya I did. And I so wish all the dumbassed sheep would wake up to the scam that us forum-ites have known about for well over a year.
Kewl2, are you in Vancouver? If so, have you noticed the high numbers of idiots parading around by themselves outside wearing their face rags? Gawd. I am seeing dog walkers at 6am in the dark. Not a soul out there but they are wearing their rag. Solo drivers in cars. Bicyclists.
What the f*** is with city dwellers?
