That’s from the prestigious Lancet. What that really means is: Oh, sh*t! The evidence is coming in, and it’s very bad news for the Injection Cult and its victims. It sure looks like the injections offer little protection and, for those who get infected, the disease is worse among the vaxxed than among the unvaxxed.
I present the entire text, broken down into bite size paragraphs (the original is in one long paragraph). Please pay close attention to the example from Israel. There we see clear evidence of what we’ve been reading regularly: the vaxxed get hit harder than the unvaxxed.
The epidemiological relevance of the COVID-19-vaccinated population is increasing

High COVID-19 vaccination rates were expected to reduce transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in populations by reducing the number of possible sources for transmission and thereby to reduce the burden of COVID-19 disease. Recent data, however, indicate that the epidemiological relevance of COVID-19 vaccinated individuals is increasing.
In other words, recent data shows that vaxxed people are spreading and contracting more seriously than the unvaxxed—that’s the Oh sh*t! moment in all this.
In the UK it was described that secondary attack rates among household contacts exposed to fully vaccinated index cases was similar to household contacts exposed to unvaccinated index cases (25% for vaccinated vs 23% for unvaccinated). 12 of 31 infections in fully vaccinated household contacts (39%) arose from fully vaccinated epidemiologically linked index cases. Peak viral load did not differ by vaccination status or variant type.
In other words, you’re as likely to get Covid from a vaxxed as from an unvaxxed carrier.
In Germany, the rate of symptomatic COVID-19 cases among the fully vaccinated (“breakthrough infections”) is reported weekly since 21 July 2021 and was 16.9% at that time among patients of 60 years and older.
This proportion is increasing week by week and was 58.9% on 27 October 2021 (Figure 1) providing clear evidence of the increasing relevance of the fully vaccinated as a possible source of transmission.
OK, in English, that means that the percentage of the vaxxed in Covid cases has increased from ~17% in July to ~60% in October. The author thinks that’s “clear evidence” that the vaxxed are spreaders, although he coyly phrases that as the vaxxed being “a possible source of transmission.”
A similar situation was described for the UK. Between week 39 and 42, a total of 100,160 COVID-19 cases were reported among citizens of 60 years or older. 89,821 occurred among the fully vaccinated (89.7%), 3,395 among the unvaccinated (3.4%). One week before, the COVID-19 case rate per 100,000 was higher among the subgroup of the vaccinated compared to the subgroup of the unvaccinated in all age groups of 30 years or more.
In Israel a nosocomial outbreak was reported involving 16 healthcare workers, 23 exposed patients and two family members. The source was a fully vaccinated COVID-19 patient. The vaccination rate was 96.2% among all exposed individuals (151 healthcare workers and 97 patients). Fourteen fully vaccinated patients became severely ill or died, the two unvaccinated patients developed mild disease.
The US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) identifies four of the top five counties with the highest percentage of fully vaccinated population (99.9–84.3%) as “high” transmission counties. Many decisionmakers assume that the vaccinated can be excluded as a source of transmission.
It appears to be grossly negligent to ignore the vaccinated population as a possible and relevant source of transmission when deciding about public health control measures.
In other words, “many decisionmakers” have been bitten hard by the Moronic variant. They’re scientifically illiterate idiots—at best. At worst, they’re complicit in something much worse.
In the UK, the numbers of people over the age of 60 and unvaccinated has been under 250K since September (and is surely smaller now).
Reality setting in. I have pointed out several times and on several forums that the vast majority of the unvaccinated in the Western world are under the age of 18. The case loads everywhere in North America and Europe are vaccinated people for the most part, as are those who are dying. This can't be hidden forever.
