the vaccines are good. but we're so (including some on the left) caught up in an individual framework that we get takes like this. get everyone collectively vax'd, it reduces the spread and makes it safer for everyone.

so lmao this is wrong! yes, vaccines dont stop you from spreading the virus if you get sick but Florida is in a huge surge because they haven't reached high levels of vaccination. the vaccine is meant to be used collectively to stop spread.pic.twitter.com/DdnuZG2cId

we have so much confusing guidance because vaccines aren't meant to be used individually. they are a population level tool. gotta keep shouting that.

Not to nit-pick, but there is good evidence, for non-Delta variants at least, that vaccination reduces the risk of spreading the virus if you do get infected. For Delta, I don't think there's enough data to make a definitive statement at this point. But yes, it's not "impossible"

good caveat below (again I dont fully understand the mechanisms for viral load - will always defer to epis for that) but point is we gotta get collective vax!!https://twitter.com/VaccineJo/status/1424460221196406794 …
