Three quarters of people infected with COVID-19 at public events in a Massachusetts town were fully vaccinated, a study by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) showed.

The study, published on Friday without naming the town, suggested the Delta variant of the virus was highly contagious.

The study found vaccinated individuals had a similar amount of virus presence as the unvaccinated, suggesting that, unlike with other variants, vaccinated people infected with the Delta variant could transmit the virus, the CDC said. CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said this was a "pivotal discovery" leading to CDC's recommendation this week that masks be worn in areas where cases were surging as a precaution against possible transmission by fully vaccinated people.

"The masking recommendation was updated to ensure the vaccinated public would not unknowingly transmit virus to others, including their unvaccinated or immunocompromised loved ones," Walensky said. Overall, 79% of the vaccinated individuals who were infected with COVID-19 also reported symptoms such as cough, headache, sore throat and fever. Four had to be hospitalized.

First the CDC says it’s the unvaccinated causing outbreaks, and today it’s the vaccinated? So which one is it? Quit changing the narrative so much!!

Hey, viruses will have to infect somebody, anybody. Vax are somebody too. Besides, US has muted reports of vax in Isreal getting infected 3+months ago, destroying mRNA myth, hence paying the price.

I’m vaccinated. Did we cause the mutation?

Because most of MA is vaccinated and they can carry Delta

Why is that? Is that because the unvaccinated are not going anywhere or because the vaccine does not help and make people more susceptible to the disease?
