CV and mad panic behaviour

[Mav]

Vaccinations may reduce the transmission of the Delta Variant in 2 ways: vaccinated people:

1. may be less likely to become infected, and if you’re not infected you won’t give it to anyone else.
   
2. may be less infectious if they do become infected and may therefore be less likely to infect others than unvaccinated people.
   

I think there’s some evidence to support both propositions, but I’m not informed enough to go further than that.

If either or both of the above propositions are correct, then the more people vaccinate, the less transmission there will be in the community. The odds of vaccinated and unvaccinated people being infected will then be reduced.

Any reduction in transmission rates will help to prevent Covid mutating into more dangerous variants, or at least will help to delay those mutations. More dangerous variants will be a threat to both vaccinated and unvaccinated people.
