> They "slow" the spread of the virus by preventing infections. A breakthrough infection is not a slower infection, it is an infection that happens at the same speed (in fact, a little faster overall because it subsides more quickly). All the slowdown is via infections that do not happen, and were thus prevented.

Slowdown != prevention. You will just be exposed a bit later on average, but the spread still happens, just slower.

    SARS-CoV-2 vaccines prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2.
Is a lie.

    SARS-CoV-2 vaccines do not prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2.
Is a true statement. The one that you chose to attack for some reason that only you know.

Feel free to move the goalpost again. Or, you know... just accept the truth.




The only one moving the goalposts here is you.

You have acknowledged that the vaccines prevent transmission, because that is how they slow the overall spread. You have acknowledged that it was always known that they do not prevent infections at 100% efficacy.

Your word games in constantly switching around individual and global definitions of "prevent", "spread" etc. are of no interest to me.

Bye.


SARS-CoV-2 vaccines do not prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2. Not globally and even not individually.

Bye


Stop spreading misinformation.


Every country, every city, every street and every house. Even at 100% vaccination rate. There is no point in denying that.
