Vaccination Has No Impact on Household Transmission of the Delta Variant, Study Finds
According to a recent study published in the Lancet, those who have received a Covid vaccine are just as likely as the unvaccinated to transmit the Delta variant within a household setting. In addition, researchers uncovered that both the unvaccinated and the vaccinated had a similar viral load of the disease when infected, with 25% of vaccinated household contacts contracting the disease. The Hill has the story.
According to the study published in the Lancet Infectious Diseases journal, people who contracted Covid had a similar viral load regardless of whether they had been vaccinated. The study further found that 25% of vaccinated household contacts contracted Covid while 38% of unvaccinated individuals were diagnosed with the disease.
Researchers examined 621 symptomatic participants in the United Kingdom over a year.
“Although vaccines remain highly effective at preventing severe disease and deaths from Covid, our findings suggest that vaccination is not sufficient to prevent transmission of the Delta variant in household settings with prolonged exposures”, the study said.
In contrast, researchers noted that the vaccination was more effective at curbing transmission of the Alpha variant within the household, at between 40 and 50%.
“Increasing population immunity via booster programmes and vaccination of teenagers will help to increase the currently limited effect of vaccination on transmission, but our analysis suggests that direct protection of individuals at risk of severe outcomes, via vaccination and non-pharmacological interventions, will remain central to containing the burden of disease caused by the Delta variant”, the researchers wrote.

We are reaching a point now where only outright extermination of those not complying will suffice. Such is the weakness of the official narrative. No room for pretence any longer
I thought the headline yesterday was that the likelihood of transmitting the virus in a family was 25%? From the same study?
This is so typical for what has been going on since beginning of 2020, confusing messages so that people do not know what is correct and whom to believe. So they believe the one who shouts loudest. The BBC and other MSM.

@ Silke David, yes. Dana Ashlie makes a powerful case that all of this incoherence in the narrative is deliberate, a way of gaslighting us, to break down psychological resistance:

It demonstrates that so much of the so called science is anything but. In normal times most of these papers would never see the light of day. Publication is for enhancement of CV’s not for scientific progress,
I am pretty sure I caught COVID-19 at Easter from my then recently vaccinated wife, at home. She tested negative at the time even though she had symptoms, but we all know how accurate the tests are…
It’s about a year since Peter Doshi pointed out that none of the clinical trials were designed, amongst other things, to investigate transmission… But still it was unfathomably pushed that these products would prevent transmission and everyone and their dogs needed a double dose to exit the “pandemic”. Surely, now is the time for a moratorium on where this is all going… I’ll keep dreaming and carrying on my normal life.
Such considerations are laughable at this point. It ain’t about a virus
…and is still being pushed…look on any NHS or official Government websites, still say you are less likely to catch and transmit!
Vaccination may have no impact on transmission but may have a huge impact on the future health of those being coerced into taking the experimental product…

Just seeing if DS will accept my comment
This study stinks of G a tes and his academic apparatchiks – and that is why it was always going to conclude that only more injections can ‘save us’. It relied solely on the PCR test to ascertain infectiousness when every man and his dog knows that the PCR test can do no such thing. Moreover, the assay sequencing and PCR testing was undertaken by Fergusons Imperial College – which is beholden to vaccine profiteer G a tes to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. Oh, and guess who wrote the software for this ‘study’? Yes, you guessed right – King of the G a tes Junk in Junk out school of programming NEIL FERGUSON.
“Vaccination Has No Impact on Household Transmission of the Delta Variant, Study Finds”
Probably no impact on transmission anywhere, but perhaps they don’t want to say that…
Powerful speech ….

Sssh, don’t tell that to all the Welsh fans turning up for the rugby against New Zealand this afternoon, filing in like good little sheep with their Covid passports to prevent transmission. Drakeford & Ardern will be watching on with glee.

“The study further found that 25% of vaccinated household contacts contracted Covid while 38% of unvaccinated individuals were diagnosed with the disease.”
So yes there is an impact. A modest one yes but an impact.
Exaggeration just detracts from the actual argument.
……there is the possibility that as many as 22 million people, in week 26, were unvaccinated rather than the 9.5 million reported.

More evidence that the number of unvaccinated will be a problem for government control.
And this does not include those who have only one vax….or those with two who will not take the booster. We can take heart we are not alone.
Does this mean we don’t need to show vaccine passports when we’re at home??????????
I believe my partner gave me covid shortly after their second jab just over a month ago. They had a few cold symptoms about a week afterwards. I was ill just a few days later. Had a sore throat, my ears felt like they had bubbling fluid in them, mucus on my chest and aching chills. Never lost my sense of smell or taste so didn’t think much of it other than being a bad cold. Probably lasted about a week all in all and I have no long lasting issues. My sister (unjabbed) now has exactly the same symptoms as I did. She took a lateral flow test on Wednesday and a PCR test the next day. Both of which came back positive. She wouldn’t have usually have taken a test but our father pressured her into taking it as an elderly relative is not well. I and my sister don’t live in the same household. But I visit almost daily and haven’t come down with anything. None of my sister’s household have come down with anything either. My sister seems to think that she caught it from at least one of our aunts. Two of aunts (both double… Read more »
Also, my sister received this message along side her test results. Unless I’ve missed something or am being a bit thick, in what act of law does it say you have to stay at home and isolate if you are ill?
And this is why if you feel unwell you should stay home till better and on no account visit the aged auntie. We all knew that, surely. But this is also why you should never get a test, for it brings out the worst in Big Brother.
What a truly revolting photograph.
