All the more reason for unvaccinated people to get vaccinated. Now they have to worry about catching COVID from absolutely everyone, not just the others who are unvaccinated. As long as the vaccinated are not getting seriously ill, we can help them along to herd immunity the hard way.This was in the WaPo article on the possible CDC guidance update -
"Top health officials, who were debating the new masking guidance on Monday afternoon, said the game-changer was new data showing that vaccinated individuals infected with the delta variant carry the same viral load as unvaccinated individuals who are infected, according to three people familiar with the data. Vaccinated people are unlikely to become severely ill, but the new data raises questions about how easily they can transmit the disease, said the three individuals. Such transmission was not believed to happen in any significant way with earlier variants."
