Non - Pandemic

Just want to confirm, does this mean that a fully vaccinated person can still transmit the virus to another person? Not trying to be doom and gloom but it’s one of the things that I have not seen clarified anywhere
 
Spot the difference.


Dr Richard Jarvis, BMA public health medicine committee co-chairman, says the government must monitor the situation with "extreme vigilance" and be willing to "apply the brakes" if necessary.
Last night, the prime minister said he didn't think the "present evidence" showed a need to delay the next step of easing lockdown.

Sorry I can't see any difference. The government have monitored the situation and with the present evidence believe it unnecessary to delay the easing of lockdown. I think that is exactly the correct thing at this moment.

From what I understand a fully vaccinated person can sometimes pass the virus on if they have caught it but crucially the viral load they pass on is much smaller and far less likely to cause serious illness in another unvaccinated person.

Is there a contradiction between those two statements?

In any case I think there would be a serious danger of large sections of public saying 'f**k it I'm vaccinated and fed up of this', if they did try to reverse back into lockdown.

I maybe misquoting here but I believe it’s something like after one dose you are 50% less likely to pass on the virus by being asymptomatic.

Just a shame they didn't monitor the India situation in the first place. I don't like them and the clown - as you know. But - OK it was a new scenario etc etc...but for god's sake learn from the mistakes last time.

Delaying putting India on the red list after what we have learnt over the last year was inexcusable.

After vaccination the likelihood of you infecting someone in your household is reduced by 40% and you are also less likely to pass on a heavy dose of the virus. See the attached article which I posted a while back:

So, BoJo has given it extreme vigilance, he's willing to apply the brakes, but with the present evidence, doesn't feel the need to delay the next step.

What's the difference?

Do you ever view anything other than through a pair of anti Government goggles?
