Let’s keep this going. Capak confirmed that vaccinated people can still spread the virus, so why aren't they being tested and sent into isolation when a close
family member gets sick?
"What is absolutely certain, based on the literature and scientific studies, is that both vaccinated individuals and those who have recovered can also briefly carry the virus on their mucosa and transmit it to someone else, though certainly to a much lesser extent than vulnerable people who, because they are susceptible, may fall ill and then—whether symptomatic or asymptomatic—spread the virus to others. To my knowledge, no one in the world has mandated testing for vaccinated people unless they are working with immunocompromised patients. In those cases, if exposure to a sick person is proven, they must be tested, which is clearly stated in our guidelines. We always maintain that regardless of vaccination or prior infection, standard epidemiological measures must still be followed, as these measures are essential for reducing the risk of spreading the infection to others," said Capak.
Forget about "to a much lesser extent." That's total BS. The bottom line is whether they can transmit it or not, and the answer is: yes, they can!
It's the same logic as being able to get infected and develop symptoms; if you can catch it and feel it, you can pass it on.
The severity of the symptoms doesn't change the fact. There is only one truth here: vaccination
might protect YOU from the worst outcomes, but it doesn't stop the infection itself! It is high time this was clearly and publicly defined.
Besides, this guy is a terrible communicator. He's so bad at it he sounds like he has zero clue what he's doing and is just making it up as he goes.
He is literally contradicting the very information posted on his own agency's website.
And then people wonder why vaccination rates are so low. After all this, I wouldn't believe Capak if he told me it was raining outside.
