Vaccinated people can also transmit Covid (albeit less).

Since I happened to hear some inaccuracies, without wishing to make useless controversy, I was pleased to give some information to those who follow us so that, as always, they can make their own decisions and form their own opinions.

Can vaccinated people carry contagion?

Let's see what both WHO and another external source have to say about it:

WHO. the indications are taken from the official website of the WHO and its recommendations to the public :

Is it okay for people who have been fully vaccinated to travel to see older or more vulnerable relatives and friends who have also had their vaccinations?
As I said, vaccinated people may still be infected with the virus and may have no symptoms or only mild symptoms. Vaccination reduces the risk but does not completely prevent them from transmitting the virus .

Care should therefore be taken when visiting older people and those with previous health conditions – whether they are fully vaccinated or not – by wearing a face mask, washing your hands regularly, keeping a safe distance and meeting them outside or in a well-ventilated room. .

Let's see now what ClivelandClinic says, for example interviewing Dr. Cardona on the subject:

While it is possible, Dr. . Cardona says the ability to transmit COVID-19 can occur at a slower rate. He adds that this could be a reality even for people who don't have a good immune response to vaccines.

“Older adults, those with immune or chronic health conditions, or those with underlying health disorders may not have the best protective response to vaccines, such as COVID-19 vaccines. We are still collecting data and doing ongoing research on vaccine responses in these vulnerable populations ”.

Let's now consider HealthLine :

Clinical trials and real-world studies have shown that COVID-19 vaccines are very effective in preventing severe COVID-19. Some vaccines are also very effective in preventing infections, including asymptomatic ones, but scientists do not yet fully know how much vaccines reduce the transmission of the virus from one vaccinated person to others. The good news is that studies suggest that vaccines reduce transmission to some extent.

These are mainstream sites, selected by Google, without anything conspiratorial, but perfectly aligned with the main international scientific research. The vaccinated can infect others, even if, perhaps, with a lower percentage . To say that a vaccinated definitely not infected is not a vaccinated just like to say that a bond or AAA rated financial product can not fail, what we should ask Enron or Parmalat or CDO estate in 2007. We can say that it is less likely that they fail, not that it is impossible.

Then we have to give our readers a sad news: they are deadly, and they will die, even if vaccinated. The mortality of Covid-19 in Italy shows, out of 4.3 million cases, an average value of 2.9%, equal to 128 thousand deaths. Many ? Few ? We leave it to you to judge, but, to give you an idea , Helicobacter pylori has a mortality rate of 2% to 4%. Furthermore, as seen in other articles, vaccinated people can also die of covid, albeit less frequently. To say
