    This is not an argument about getting vaccinated. You are not reading correctly.

    A caregivers covid vaccination status is irrelevant to the at risk. The covid vaccine does not stop transmission. It will not protect people at risk.

    Putting it bluntly. You being vaccinated will not stop you killing your immunocompromised grandmother with covid.

      I’ve noticed that a lot of people on Lemmy simply don’t believe this, and consider it to be anti-vax propaganda.

      The first time I got covid, it was from someone who had been vaccinated. She didn’t wear a mask around me or tell me she had covid because she didn’t think she could give it to me.

        People tend to have only binary opinions and this is a technical topic that has been deeply politicised.

        I think this particular argument of viral transmission is worth having, because it may just make someone think twice around their more vulnerable friends and family members.

        I should have also highlighted that recently recovered can also silently infect with other strains.
