    That's a pretty big deal.

    Because even if vaccinated you could still transmit to others and we all know 1) it will take time to get a vaccination to the masses; and 2) there will be a lot of people who will elect not to take it.

    I *believe* the Moderna vaccine showed it reduced spread, while the Pfizer data was inconclusive.

    E: yeah, here - https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/15/h...a-vaccine.html

    “ New data from Moderna suggest that its vaccine may reduce transmission. Researchers found that people who had one shot were less likely than those in the placebo group to have symptom-free infections in their noses — and therefore less likely to be contagious.”

    I'm *hoping* they're just showing an abundance of caution, and it will be much more effective at preventing spread than they're cautioning. I noticed this graphic (from the NYTs I think) just now that's saying the same stuff.

    ^

    "Less likely to be contagious" is very far from not being contagious at all.

    And I doubt many people are going to make that distinction, causing the inoculated to be more brazen and possibly infect others.


    Hopefully over time, we'll have better data.
