Apparently, he didn’t read last week’s HomaFiles posts.
==============
I’ve been trying hard to understand the risk that I, a vaccinated person, have of getting infected and transmitting covid to, say, my grandkids.
Last week, we observed that:
> In their original EUA applications, the vaccine companies made no claims that the vaccines would prevent asymptomatic infections … they just claimed protection against symptomatic infections.
> Nonetheless, the CDC web site advised: “It is very rare for a vaccinated person to get infected and transmit the virus.”
> More recently,, CDC Director Walensky clarified that: “Though covid vaccines work “exceptionally well” against hospitalization and death, they can’t prevent transmission anymore. So, we should expect thousands of breakthrough infections.”
See CDC Director: “Covid vaccines can’t prevent transmission”
> And, Pfizer data indicates that vaccinations do provide roughly 90% protection against infection soon after being fully vaccinated … but, that the protection waned down to about 40% after 6 months.
Using the Pfizer data, we ballparked that about 1/2 of recent infections might be attributable to breakthrough infections and transmission by fully vaccinated people.
See Covid data: More about breakthrough infections and viral transmission…

All of the above notwithstanding, last week President Biden veered off his teleprompter and declared that all healthcare workers should get vaccinated because doing so provides “certainty that the people providing your care … cannot spread it to you“.
Doesn’t he know that his scientists (and their data) are saying that vaccinated people can still spread the virus.
As climate czar John Kerry might say: “The President was unaware” … or, or he was intentionally misinforming.
Competence or honesty?
And, some people wonder wonder why a majority of Americans (and 2 out of 3 of Independents) think Biden is either incompetent or dishonest.
