      James Surowiecki Retweeted The New York Times

      This tweet is incredibly irresponsible. It makes it sound like vaccinated ppl are as likely to get and spread Covid as unvaccinated people are, which the CDC document absolutely does not say.https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1420972977005412354 …

      James Surowiecki added,

      Breaking News: The Delta variant is as contagious as chickenpox and may be spread by vaccinated people as easily as the unvaccinated, an internal C.D.C. report said. https://nyti.ms/376u8mv

      I had interpreted the tweet as meaning that the small minority of the vaccinated who get covid might be equally likely to spread but I can see how it's open to misinterpretation. They should fix!

          If it had said "may be spread by infected vaccinated people as easily ..." that would've been accurate (and the article, and the subhed, are careful to make that distinction), but as it is I think it's really deceptive. And it's gone out as a push alert. Bad.

          But that’s literally exactly what the tweet says. “May be spread by vaccinated people as easily as the unvaccinated.” I don’t understand what you think is misleading or deceptive about this.

          We need to simplify this: The Delta variance means there is a greater chance a vaccinated person can now spread it individually, but not necessarily all vaxed people will have the same response to Delta. Hence - there is a greater risk to the unvaxed, including kids.

          The issue from my perspective, is that we could end up both with capacity issues at health care facilities, as well as another mutation, but this time, in response to vaccinated people!!

          Definitely. I already have a small anti-fan club of anti-vaxxers furiously tweeting this @ me...poor dears...

          It’s not a small minority. Los Angeles is reporting 26% of infected were vaccinated. The Provincetown cluster is higher.

          I don’t see how there can be any view that the tweet is anything but irresponsible click bait.
