This makes no sense. It's incredibly clear at this point that vaccinated people with covid spread it just the same as an unvaccinated person with covid.

IIRC vaccinated people spread smaller quantities of the virus, and the viral droplets they do spread tend to include antigens since their body is actively fighting the infection while they spread it... you know, because their system was primed for the fight thanks to the vaccine.

I think this Fridman podcast interview explored such things, either way it was quite informative on the subject:

Yeah, and a car crash does the same damage regardless of Blood Alcohol Concentration. We should still punish a drunk driver for irresponsible behavior.

> just the same

AFAIK that's not true.

My understanding, from a study that may be outdated by now, is the window to spread covid is slightly bigger in the unvaccinated, but not by much.

1-3 days of additional self-quarantine solves this issue.
