Isn't there a study that says that vaccinated people spread it more than the unvaccinated because I think there is. Look at Israel.

Considering vaxxed people typically don't have any symptom, they are easier to spread because they are silent spreaders.

The problem with this is that there have always been studies that questioned how effective as spreaders asymptomatic carriers actually are. For one thing, the virus spreads through droplets expelled through coughing and sneezing - symptoms produced by the illness. If you are asymptomatic, you aren't doing that with any regularity limiting how many droplets you are actually expelling to spread any viral particles for others to pick up.

Consider one of the early and well publicized incidents was of a Spanish man on holiday who kept testing positive. He was quarantined to his hotel room with the people he was traveling with who never tested positive. They were in close proximity for some time. He was an asymptomatic case, and the people he was living in close, confined quarters with never picked it up.

So even if it true that asymptomatic delta carriers have lots of virus, they still aren't displaying the typical symptoms making it easy to spread those viral particles around. None of that is to say it would be impossible, but it does seem they would be far less likely than the symptomatic carrier spraying their coughs and sneezes all over.

Infected people breathe out thousands of viral particles with each breath even if they don't have symptoms. These particles travel through the air similar to spores. Remember, it only takes one viral particle to infect a person, although it may take hundreds or even thousands of particles to infect a person with high probability. So even if infected person shows no symptoms, the probability of infecting others is high.

I got the solution for that, we should all be forced to live in personal plastic bubbles to keep each other safe.

How come those who have had covid already are not getting covid again?
Yet those who are vaccinated are getting covid?

Me thinks its the VACCINE that is the problem.

How about those who are afraid, wear FULL PPE or HAZMAT SUITS and then nobody has anything to worry about.
