This new information has come from Israel who is using the Pfizer vaccine exclusively. I saw Dr. Fauci on TV nearly two weeks ago say that this new evidence is showing that fully vaccinated people are not transmitting the virus to others. Dr. Fauci said this may be because a fully vaccinated person has a low viral load in their naso -pharynx and can not transmit the virus to others. More study has to be done so this claim can be verified. I thought this was great news when I heard Dr. Fauci give us this information. I'm very encouraged.
To me, this means that if it is determined that fully vaccinated people can not transmit the disease, the masks can come off and distancing will not be as critical as it is now. That is just my gut feeling and nothing is written in stone.
Also, coming from the CDC with this news that was made available from Israel, is this......

IMHO, this is all the more reason for as many people to be vaccinated to reach herd immunity safely.
