Vaccination drives infection

It is now established as a fact that COVID-vaccination does not protect against the SARS-CoV-2 virus. On the contrary, there have been many reports indicating that vaccinated persons can be infected and that they also can spread infection. 

Since vaccination now is mainly advocated for reducing symptoms and thereby hospitalization and death, there have been suspicions that vaccinated individuals inadvertently will spread infections more than the unvaccinated do because the former have no symptoms that make them aware of being infected.

Now it seems that the viral load – i.e., the number of viruses - in infected vaccinated individuals can be several hundred times larger than in infected non - vaccinated people before symptoms appear and precautions can be implemented. This will, of course, increase the spread. A Vietnamese preprint of a study among fully vaccinated hospital personnel shows that because of “presymptomatic and/or asymptomatic transmission among the vaccinated workers… infection cases peaked around 2-3 days before and after the development of symptoms and were 251 times higher than those of the infected cases detected during the early phase of the pandemic in 2020.”

The reaction from authorities has been to try to speed up the vaccination rate even further which may seem a bit counterproductive.
