So I read that the Yankees who tested positive after getting the vaccine all got the 1 shot J&J version.
I then read that even though they tested positive they're not worried about them being able to further spread the virus since 7/8 had no symptoms.
This makes me believe that asymptomatic spread of the virus never existed. How can a vaccinated person test positive but no longer have to wear a mask?
If you can test positive but show no symptoms because you're vaccinated, you can't spread it to others, so no mask is cool. If you're just a regular person and showing no symptoms you do still have to wear a mask even though you're asymptomatic. Both people are asymptomatic but one of them can spread it and the other can't?
To me, at this point, the CDC has literally 0 credibility.
Whether you're contagious or not has zero to do with whether you have symptoms or not, it's dependent on viral load.
The reason they say that they're likely not contagious is, though they are infected, being vaccinated means they likely won't develop a high enough viral load to be contagious. Some unvaccinated people never develop a high enough viral load either. Some do and remain asymptomatic.
Just because you don't understand something doesn't mean it isn't credible.
That's the theory behind it anyway. Science will challenge this assumption and we'll know to what degree it holds true for this virus.
If the evidence finds it not to correct, they will update the information, then you and zrick will yell "OMG, they have no credibility".
Rinse and repeat.
