From the same piece.
Vaccines have been shown to be highly effective in preventing severe disease, hospitalization and death from COVID-19. For example, as of mid-September, 41 out of 49 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 at UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento were unvaccinated.
When you shake someone's deep sense of self-worth, leaving a scar in their ego, they will persistently try to diminish you through petty arguments & obsessive captious criticism of your actions, just to soothe the wound.

That’s irrelevant to the conversation about community spread.

Delta was portrayed as an epidemic of the unvaxxed. Looks like that is not the case.
Another chestnut is the virus is mutating among the unvaxxed and not in the vaxxed. If viral loads are any indicator, that may also be an erroneous hypothesis.

What fill the ICUs are the unvaxxeed. They are the ones causing the crush on medical resources.
If those people had chosen differently the hospitals would not be under the same pressure as now

Not disagreeing, but this discussion is more about spread. I’m still not sure that same viral load = same spread, however. I seem to recall confusing studies regarding that aspect.

The President just told me that vaccinated people can't spread the virus.
