    Does Noakes not realize that this is one of the hoariest, stupidest antivax arguments there is? I was dealing with it two decades ago.https://twitter.com/AlastairMcA30/status/1416643493502484489 …

    Allow me help! 1) The vaccine is not 100% effective. So unvaccinated people DO pose a risk to the vaccinated. 2) Some are immune-suppressed and require the rest of us to be vaxed to protect them 3) More infections = more variants. Threatens effectiveness of vaccines. /1 pic.twitter.com/6TY75MAWKT

        He realises but he doesn't care. He knows that for every person who sees McAlpine's correction, there will be many who won't. Just blithely pissing in the pool we all have to swim in

        In fairness, the CDC effectively supports Noakes' position, with their "no masks for vaccinated" policy in basically all circumstances.

        The @CDCgov does NOT say that the unvaccinated are no threat to the vaccinated, as Noakes does.🙄

        How has there been a pandemic for well over a year and there are people so ignorant of how vaccines work they can make tweets like this? HOW?

        There's a significant overlap between keto and anti-vax. They're contrarians.

        Do we know if an unvaccinated person catches covid from a vaccinated person is infection less severe? Assuming viral loads of unvaccinated are most likely lower? Kinda wondering why public health experts are not focusing communities that have had little or no outbreaks to take

        Greater precautions bc scenario 1) ppl over confident bc they haven’t caught yet tied w 2) vaccinated less cautious behavior and 3) asymptotic vaccinated patients transmitting covid. Makes you wonder if risk to unvaccinated is higher due both to delta variant & behavior changes
