Q: If a person has received the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, will the vaccine protect against transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from individuals who are infected despite vaccination?
A: Most vaccines that protect from viral illnesses also reduce transmission of the virus that causes the disease by those who are vaccinated. While it is hoped this will be the case, the scientific community does not yet know if the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine will reduce such transmission.

Just saying we’re going on a bit of “other vaccines work” faith here.
This information should not be misconstrued to be anti-vax. Nothing about it is anti-vax nor anti-science.

- Nowadays's, if you dare asking this question, you are a anti-vax conspirationist in denial.ApeRobot
- Common knowledge? It’s not being considered or brought up in my office’s back to work plans. None of my friends’ offices are considering this information********
- My extended family and social network (lots of people who haven’t read a book in over a decade) definitely don’t have a clue about this.********
- Israel is a good exemple of the fact that Pfizer do no better regarding transmission or being infected.ApeRobot
- It’s really not common knowledge. In fact, there’s a TON of pressure to vaccinate our children “in order to protect others.”********
- If we know for a fact that it won't protect others we should stop using that argument.palimpsest
- Happy to be corrected here but isn't the point of the vax (whatever brand) to prevent serious illness? So healthcare services aren't overwhelmed and peoplefadein11
- who need those services can get them. Perhaps I'm missing the point but who ever thought the vax was a silver bullet?fadein11
- I thought hospitalisations were now nearly all un-vaxed folk?fadein11

- As of now, we just don't know. So there's no conclusive evidence to NOT vaccinate your kids nor to vaccinate your kids.********
- But I get a little tired of people posting things about trusting the science and in the next breath spouting something they just made up in their head********
- @fadein11 Yes, the vax prevents overwhelming hospitals. It's a perfect argument for adults. But children aren't really taking up resources here.********
- Wow, like I said happy to be corrected:
https://fullfact.org…fadein11 - To re-iterate: there is evidence that the vaccine prevents serious illness in children 5-12. But we don't know if it prevents transmission. That's all I'm sayin********
- I honestly thought that was the point.fadein11
- Above I made it sound like there was no reason to vaccinate your kids, which isn't true. But stop telling kids that its their duty to stop the spread!********
- Totally presumed the vax had massively reduced serious illness. SMH at myself and for believing the official narrative.fadein11
- fade folks hospitalised with covid vs because covid - mostly due to how many elderly are vaccinated in the UK. they are not vaccinated against hospitals.kingsteven
- Although I guess boosters will bring the numbers down again... or perhaps not.fadein11
- there were a ton of studies that showed reduced transmission but imagine the reduction in symptomatic transmission goes down the drain when folks don't realisekingsteven
- they have it and back at work/school socialising...kingsteven
- Vax also speeds up recovery time, which helps stop the spread. As they rolled out the vax, they made a point to say numbers of vaxxed in the hospitals will goShenanigansTV
- as the number of people vaxxed goes up. It does however lower the death rate and brings the numbers down to a more manageable rate. This has been in theShenanigansTV
- conversation for a while now.ShenanigansTV
- @fade11 If 100% of people were vaccinated, 100% of hospitalizations would be vaccinated people. Don't confuse the numbers.********
- Vaccines have massively reduced serious illness, according to science (and just plain common sense.)********
- but 100% of the numbers would be less, or what I thought... my tiny brain can't cope with this lolfadein11
- A study on a vaccine's effect on transmission rates would ignore behavioral changes among vaxed people. But another type of study could look at that, for sure.********
- If science concludes that the vax reduces transmission rates, it will be published as that. It's much easier to prove that people behave differently after vax.********

https://npr.brightsp…ShenanigansTV - Yes it is actually common knowledge. From day one.monospaced
- https://bit.ly/3nuVN…ShenanigansTV
- @mono Do you have any scientific data to back up this "common knowledge" argument? Lol********
- Other than the fact that this was explained on day one? No, not necessary. It's just how the vaccine has always been.monospaced
- The vaccines never promised to stop the spread, just to keep you from being hospitalized and dying. It doesn't mean they aren't necessary.monospaced
- sow hat we saying? hospitalisations are down in the vaxed compared to the unvaxed but numbers are rising in both because the vax requires boosters?fadein11
- This is what I always presumed to be correct.fadein11
- My understanding is that you become non-symptomatic, so you sneeze/cough less and as a result, have a reduced chance of transmission.monospaced
- Masks help stop the spread too, which is why kids wear them at school.monospaced
- There's a HUGE difference between something being explained on day one and something being "common knowledge"********
- It was known on day one, and that knowledge was shared from the beginning. I thought it was common knowledge, since it is with the medical community.monospaced
- Apologies, I just figured that most people here knew that. My bad. It's not really a new revelation to most people, sorry.monospaced
- It's been discussed here as a basic given on the subject for a whole year almost. In this very thread :)monospaced
- yeah you have a vaccine, you catch covid, it's gonna take hours, days, for your body to eliminate virus, and in that time you can spread it. So wear a mask plz.shapesalad
- ...and keep fucking 2meters away... if not further. One has simply had enough of you all.shapesalad
- Oh, common knowledge HERE. I see. I thought you meant the general public. When I chat with people, it feels like no one is aware of this********
- okay but how many shots?********
- The spread in my area is due to low vax numbers and people are gathering is massive crowds to party for sportsball and in bars, and no masks.ShenanigansTV
- ^ see what I mean? There's no scientific proof that spread is caused by "low vax numbers." But people are SO SURE OF IT********
- how many shots until novax?********
