Found the article elsewhere, and yes, I still say that because the title of the NYT article doesn’t accurately state what was said in the article. What the CDC actually said:
“High viral loads suggest an increased risk of transmission and raised concern that, unlike with other variants, vaccinated people infected with delta can transmit the virus,” Dr. Rochelle
Walensky, director of the CDC, said on Friday.
The viral load data indicate that even fully immunized people can spread the virus as easily as unvaccinated people who become infected. “We believe at individual level they might, which is why we updated our recommendation,” Walensky said in an email to The New York
Times earlier this week.”
“The delta variant is about as contagious as chickenpox, the document noted, and universal masking may become necessary. Still, breakthrough infections overall are infrequent, according to the agency.”
It’s almost like the contagiousness of a vaccinated person changed with delta, and although a vaccinated person is still contagious a vaccinated person getting it is still rare overall. This is why headlines don’t mean shit, because it’s some editors 1 line synopsis designed to get attention
