Perhaps you are the one changing the goalposts... Whatever they are supposed to be.
Surely that's not all that was stated. Maybe you closed your eyes at this point... They have so little respect for others that they are willing to put medical professionals at risk (as well as others) and have been unnecessarily prolonging this pandemic through their ignorance and selfishness."
Can you explain how that's different to this... The vaccinated only catch the virus because people are unvaccinated
The word "only" implies that vaccinated people can not catch it from another vaccinated person.
Which is not true.
The unvaccinated indeed prolong the pandemic problems and idd are a statistical danger to everyone, if there are enough of them.
The immune system of an unvaccinated person still has to learn how to respond once infected. So they are sick and infectious for longer. It means the virus gets to reproduce a lot longer then in a vaccinated person (since then the immune system kicks in right away with what it already has learned from the vaccine).
Meaning:
- infectious for larger periods of time
- a LOT more virus particles (so
more infectious also, not just longer)
- more reproduction = more mutations = higher chance of mutants capable of breaking through vaccination
A combination of these factors means that they will infect a lot more people (including the vaccinated) and will also end up in the hospital a lot more also. Meaning more stress on healthcare systems. Leading to restrictive measures and lockdowns.
So in short, the unvaccinated infect a
lot more people then the vaccinated. And they likely also will be the incubators of new variants.
Ironically, the omicron variant might be the beginning of the end.
What's that all about? Educational session?
Apparently it's required...
It might serve to be far more useful if you school us on how the unvaccinated are prolonging this pandemic through their ignorance and selfishness.
See above.
PS.
About giving "your immune system the ability to kick in instantly and attack the virus before it can do any damage". What happened to all those vaccinated whose immune system didn't seem to prevent them "kicking the bucket"?
They are among the 3 to 7% (depending on which vaccine they had) in which the vaccination didn't work very well.
PS: how do you explain that in countries where the vast majority is vaccinated, the vast majority of the hospitalized, those in ICU and those that die are unvaccinated people?
Could it perhaps be that being vaccinated lowers your chances severely of needing hospitalization, ICU or worse? And since the social measures and lockdowns are a direct result of stress on hospitals (to prevent health care collapse), wouldn't then by definition mean that unvaccinated people are prolonging pandemic measures?
