#2 An Alternate View

It is official: The biggest public health threat right now are "fully vaccinated" people, whom the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) now warns are super-spreaders polluting society with Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) "variants. "Nothing the CDC did this past year helped bring the "case" count down, nor did the agency save any lives.

#3 A study by the Oxford University Clinical Research Group published on August 10th (2021) in The Lancet found that fully vaccinated people carry 251 times the viral load of coronavirus as compared to those who have not received one of the controversial vaccines. “Viral loads of breakthrough Delta variant infection cases were 251 times higher than those of cases infected with old strains detected between March-April 2020,”

#5  Can you tell what's missing?

It’s the Lancet, james, always suspect given their history. At a quick glance I see no mention of how many of the vaccinated did not have breakthrough infections — is that what you meant? I seem to recall that a study of breakthrough infections by the Israeli army showed only something like 10% of those who had previous infections subsequently tested positive for the thing, and of that 10%, something like 10% of them actually showed symptoms... or possibly actually felt ill enough to matter. Though the Israeli study was about reinfection and contagiousness among those previously infected, as I recall, not among the vaccinated as that was before vaccines had become available.

I'm so old I remember when the Lancet was a respected medical journal. Why has everything gone nutty?
