I don't know what Jimmy has been saying, but the transmissibility of the virus in vaccinated households has already been tested and they found that it was only a 30% reduction in transmission and that reduces if you were vaccinated over two months ago. They found that the viral loads were nearly identical with someone who is unvaccinated, and the main reason transmissibility was reduced in the vaccinated groups, was because the virus stays longer in someone who is unvaccinated. It's not unreasonable to discuss this in the context of having different public rules for vaccinated vs unvaccinated people. Males transmit the virus roughly 30% more than females and yet we don't have different rules for men in public.

@Junebug89 You actually can spread it. Saying that it doesn't protect people is not true but saying that you cannot spread the virus if you are vaccinated is also untrue. The vaccines were never created to stop transmission, only to keep people from dying. There are clear studies showing that people can still transmit the virus such as the one I was referring to below which shows only a 30% reduction in transmission at most. This is why we still have to wear masks indoors in public spaces. People need to stop pretending as if vaccines don't work and they also need to stop pretending that vaccines cure all problems. The answer to Jimmy ignoring science isn't to ignore science yourself.
