A former bounty hunter is publicizing\u00a0a video<\/a> he claims proves that we were all lied to about COVID vaccines preventing transmission.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=”The Facts:” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text css=””]This video, which is almost a year old, is most certainly not a bombshell.<\/p>\n

That the covid vaccines were not tested for\u00a0transmission<\/a>\u00a0is not news, nor is it something that was kept under wraps. The FDA\u00a0authorization\u00a0for the EUA back in Dec 2020 spelled out that \u201cAt this time, data are not available to make a determination about how long the vaccine will provide protection, nor is there evidence that the vaccine prevents transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from person to person.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vaccines were tested and approved based on data for safety and efficacy: did they prevent disease and are they safe. Preventing transmission, while a benefit, is an indirect benefit, and is often estimated after the vaccine is licensed and not something that approvals depend on.<\/p>\n

This\u00a0study<\/a>, which shows that even when infected with\u00a0COVID, those who are fully vaccinated were contagious for about half as long and infected far fewer people (almost a quarter fewer) than those who were partially vaccinated or unvaccinated. And this\u00a0newer study<\/a>\u00a0supports the idea that vaccinated people are less likely to transmit COVID.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
