But definitively wrong?

CDC Data Suggests Vaccinated Don’t Carry, Can’t Spread Virus
CDC Director Dr. Rochelle P. Walensky said that "
vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don't get sick, and that is not just in the clinical trials but it's also in real world data,"
CDC: Fully vaccinated people don’t spread COVID-19
Data changes daily - don't shoot the messenger.
Also, 'fully vaccinated' means several weeks after the second shot. In reality, unless you have a comprehensive blood test, there is no way to tell if you are in the unfortunate 5% that the vaccine did not provide the immunity to.
That's why the vaccine isn't 100% effective - for the 95%, they are fully protected, for the 5%, they are not. The numbers, however, are low enough that an outbreak is extremely unlikely since 95% cannot carry nor get Covid.
So, for those of you who keep talking about protection from the vaccine, read this THEN do the math:
Covid-19 vaccines: CDC reports 5,800 Covid infections in fully vaccinated people
Did you see the numbers?
77 MILLION Vaccinated, 74 deaths - 0.0000961039% fatality rate
77 MILLION Vaccinated, 296 required hospitalization - 0.0005142857%
77 MILLION Vaccinated, 5800 with Covid-like syptoms - 0.0075324675%
These numbers are infinitesimal and, using the 5% that the vaccine was not effective on, we get this:
77 MILLION Vaccinated, 3.85 MILLION are unprotected because the vaccine did not 'take'
