Thought For The Day - 14 December 2020 [update]

The last entry in the 'Thought For The Day' series included this
To wit, we've no evidence yet whether any of them is sterilizing/neutralizing.
'Them', of course are the myriad Covid vaccines.

Today's reporting emphasizes this problem
Dr. Sandro Cinti, an infectious disease specialist and medical professor at the University of Michigan, explained that it remains unclear whether people vaccinated against the virus can still infect someone else.

The trials only tracked Covid-19 in people who were showing symptoms. But according to the CDC, about 40% of cases are in people who show no symptoms.i

"You have to wear your mask," he said. "What they didn't look at was if you get the vaccine and you're protected, can you still get some virus that then goes in your nose and then infect somebody else."
None of the good doctors had the gonads to warn the rest of us that the hoax-and-personal-freedom cabal will instantly stop wearing masks and keeping distance and congregating. Nice guys these doctors, but let's get real: the larger segment of the population most likely to infect, for a long time, won't be the vaccinated group, but the Covidiots.

[update]
Well, that didn't take long. The original text was written before I consumed my dead trees NYT, so I only just read this more extensive piece on the issue. Still and all, no explicit discussion of outing lying Covidiots, but that's pretty clear: keep out the fakers. Of note is the historical fact that smallpox ID cards were mandatory as far back as 1880, when Real America still existed.
