    While that’s possible, it’s much less likely than we initially thought. A recent study shows:

    “ Under real-world conditions, mRNA vaccine effectiveness of full immunization (≥14 days after second dose) was 90% against SARS-CoV-2 infections regardless of symptom status; vaccine effectiveness of partial immunization (≥14 days after first dose but before second dose) was 80%.” (Source below)

    Not only is it showing to be phenomenal at preventing infection (and therefore transmission), it seems that the 10% of fully immunized folks who could get infected are quite unlikely to transmit it to others, since their immune response squashes the virus before it replicates to levels needed to transmit. (I’ve heard this from a few Infectious Disease docs, but can’t point to a written source, FWIW)

    Good news, but it is still too new to know if I’ll have a tail sometime in the future...
