Have vaccinated persons ever been blamed for infecting others?
For thousands of years, disease pathogens have spread from person to person. Never before have carriers been blamed for infecting the next sick person. That is a very dangerous ideology.

It is one of the many crazy untrue conspiracy theories out there.

I feel like I remember a disease circulating in the 1980s where this blame game was VERY prevalent...
-
It was, and a lot of people got undeserved hate and discrimination for different reasons (there was widespread ignorance of how HIV was transmitted and also the misconception that it was a disease only "degenerates" could catch).

Where do you live? You have never heard that a woman was infected with a contagious disease (sexual disease) and therefore blamed her partner? Or vice versa? Woman infects man?

Hmm, I think we went down that path fairly recently (which, coincidentally, gave rise to human rights/anti-discrimination laws making health status a protected ground)pic.twitter.com/nsYTK4FRu0

Martin, please read something, anything, about the history of infectious disease *before* you press Send? Potential carriers have very frequently been blamed, attacked, locked up, and even killed. Things are much better now.

I remember how was my first HIV patient was treated in early 90s.

For thousands of years people used to blame god for disease because they didn’t understand how it spreading worked. We’ve moved on and now understand that irresponsibleness causes it
-
They knew about person to person transmission even if they didn't understand why. Sure they blamed supernatural sources but they understood that being around a sick person could make you sick.
