Pretty simple question. Do the vaccines stop the spread of omicron or not? Nothing at all to do with "inferring words", whatever that is supposed to mean.

You get less sick, show less symptoms, sneeze and cough less, and generally get over the illness faster. All of the above symptoms that are lessened, certainly contribute to the spread of covid. So in short - it does reduce transmission, and the vaccine is highly safe & effective considering the circumstances surrounding its development.

By how much do they "contribute" to slowing the spread and for how long? BTW the director of the CDC got covid a month after her FOURTH dose of the vaccine. I guess that was a "breakthrough case".

LOL at "considering the circumstances". That is not how we judge the safety or efficacy of pharmaceutical products. The "emergency" excuse has long since become a moot point. There is no more "emergency".

Listen mate, all I'm saying is seatbelts don't prevent car crashes, umbrella's don't prevent rain, and kevlar doesn't prevent gunshots.
