One fact some of you do continue to ignore is at least 50 percent of cases are completely asymptomatic. Nothing long term, no icu, no death, absolutely nothing. It could be a good deal higher. People don't tend to get tested for something if they aren't sick. Because why would they? So a lot of asymptomatic cases are going untested and unreported
So why is it necessary to force all of them to be vaxxed too
That's just another reason to get vaccinated. The fact that many can spread it without knowing makes it worse, not better. If you were sick, at least you would stay home, but with asymptomatic carriers, you could have it and spread it and not even be aware of it. Again, more reason to get vaccinated to reduce your chances of getting it at all.
But vaccinated people still transmit it
Only when they get it. and they have less chance of getting it.
And that wasn't the case for the alpha variant, we're still not sure if vaccinated people can transmit the delta variant as easily as unvaccinated or if it is reduced. And, when there is a delta specific vaccine, they probably won't.
When we're talking about a global pandemic you play the odds, you do the things that give you the best chance. You don't look at breakthrough cases and throw your hands up. Yes, they do happen, but they happen less frequently. So you should still get vaccinated.
You lock your car doors to prevent your car from being broken into, someone can still get in your car, it's just less likely.
