A study released in November and authored by no less than nineteen senior CDC officials indicates that vaccinated people have the same capability to transmit the coronavirus as unvaccinated people.
The study, “Transmission potential of vaccinated and unvaccinated persons infected with the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant in a federal prison,” was conducted in a federal prison in Texas after an outbreak of the coronavirus delta variant occurred, with a majority of prisoners already vaccinated.
During the outbreak in July and August, researchers collected nasal swab samples from 78 persons identified as fully vaccinated and 17 identified as vaccinated. Many of the findings of coronavirus matter samples were similar between unvaccinated and vaccinated samples.
