I agree we should better explain the dramatic risk reduction after vaccines. I've long been shouting from rooftops about the need to communicate better that they will greatly blunt transmission. On the other other hand, infectious risks are different category than car crashes.https://twitter.com/NateSilver538/status/1383926074380210183 …

Corollary question: is the blunting of risk of transmission sufficiently great post-vaccination (for US vaccines) that the question is essentially completely individualized? I have thoughts, and there is a bunch of data already, but we/the CDC should explicitly address that part.

(Car crashes also affect others but car crashes do not have transmission chains. Do the vaccinated initiate transmission chains to the degree we need to think about it? Is it so blunted that this is no longer a big enough risk?That should be the explicit CDC discussion).

The CDC guidelines have implicit assumptions about the answer to the question of post-vaccination transmission and they are actually fairly strong, but not been explicit enough to the public. The CDC making it explicit would help. Give people intuition/mechanisms, not just rules.
