Anyone paying attention might notice that the CDC and others in the US keep referring to studies from other countries. This is primarily because COVID has become so politicized in the US that testing is being reduced, and we do not have data from American sources to answer the questions being asked.

And example, recent comments here refer to information from the CDC showing viral load is much higher in DELTA in both vaccinated and unvaccinated. This brought comments from deniers and anti Vax’ers saying, “see we told you so.”

Well, recent study from Singapore confirms initial viral load is similar between jabbed and unjabbed but then as the disease progresses the patients that have been vaccinated show declining load vs those not vaccinated showing increasing load.

Would be nice is we were testing Americans so we could know if the Singapore results apply here…

But here we reduce testing, because COVID is just seeing a seasonal surge, no big deal… right
