yes they can spread it but if everyone got the shot almost nobody would die and most wouldn't need to be in the hospital. that is what matters. not how many are infected.If we want to play with percentages, what are the percentages that someone will die by catching Covid? My response to raoul, was on his statement that the unvaccinated are the ones spreading the virus right now when the facts are showing that the vaccinated spread it too. Yes, the vaccines lessen the chances for hospitalizations or death, but not from getting it again and spreading it. Two hospitals in San Fran recently had over 200 cases among their staff. 74 to 80% of those were fully vaccinated. That's a pretty high percentage, don't you think?
last week i was watching local cbs here in s fl. 120 out of 123 patients in the hospital at broward health hospitals with covid were unvaccinated.
i consider you and others on here smart people even though we may disagree on some things. what i don't get is how people dismiss the fact that the vaccinated aren't the ones dying and aren't the ones in the hospital. why not lessen the chances of death or being in the hospital if you can?
i realize the death rate itself isn't some ungodly number and that's a good thing. but over half a mil have died in a year and a half. the flu kills about 12k per year. that is a huge difference.
