I'll own it. The study stated: "Viral loads of breakthrough Delta variant infection cases were 251 times higher than those of cases infected with old strains detected between March-April 2020."

I inferred higher viral load based on the study's March-April period being primarily unvaccinated. However, this does not take into account the variable that the variant may have a higher viral load to previous variants and does not account for direct comparison between vax or unvax as it relates to this variant.
Now I digress.....you have posts stating falsehoods that the shot prevents transmission. A clear and undeniable fact confirmed by the CDC amongst other governmental health agencies. Infraction? Nope. Does it really matter? No, it just exemplifies the COVID-1984 nature of things.
What is the predicate for forcing others to take a treatment that does not prevent transmission? Why are fellow pilots advocating for their peers to take a shot that doesn't prevent them from spreading the disease?
