MUD - Wikipedia

So sorry to the OP for going OT.

Yup that's what I mean. Mine is an RPI called ArmageddonMUD. It has its own wikipedia entry, it's the longest-running RPI on the internet, and one of the original 3 with Harshlands and Shadows of Isildur being the other two.

Urban Dictionary: RPI
and
Armageddon (MUD - Wikipedia)
and
armageddon.org (you might get a security error - the error is erroneous, you can bypass that)

Just a tad contradictory, don't ya' think??? And I've still seen no recognized authorities claim that the possibility of transmission is a rumor/myth. If you have, please post a link.

I personally don't claim to be a member of any such organization but I do know how to use a search engine as well as read past the first line of whatever hit gives me a warm feeling. (Not to mention posting links to pertinent information that I quote.) More context from the CDC on this issue of breakthrough cases:
"There will be a small percentage of people who are fully vaccinated who still get sick, are hospitalized, or die from COVID-19."
"Asymptomatic infections among vaccinated people also will occur."
and "It is important to note that reported vaccine breakthrough cases will represent an undercount. This surveillance system is passive and relies on voluntary reporting from state health departments which may not be complete. Also, not all real-world breakthrough cases will be identified because of lack of testing. This is particularly true in instances of asymptomatic or mild illness.". These cherries from COVID-19 Breakthrough Case Investigations and Reporting | CDC

From another CDC page:
"If you get COVID-19 after vaccination, your symptoms might be less severe

Even though a small percentage of fully vaccinated people will get sick, vaccination will protect most people from getting sick. There also is some evidence that vaccination may make illness less severe in people who get vaccinated but still get sick. Despite this, some fully vaccinated people will still be hospitalized and die." What You Should Know About the Possibility of COVID-19 Illness After Vaccination | CDC
So far as I know, the CDC hasn't said outright that those fully vaccinated and subsequently hospitalized cannot spread the virus.

Don’t doubt the great Oz.

Sorry, drifted off there for a second...

[OrangeBlossomBaby]

Sorry everyone for causing the derailment of this topic! Anyone wanting to ask about (or reminisce about) MUDs and similar, I opened a new thread in Just for Fun!
MUDS (and their lesser offspring, MMORPGs)

Very interesting. Learn something every day and isn't that the truth.

Right you are. Maybe this has already been discussed elsewhere, but if so, I missed it. "COVID-19 Outbreak Associated with a SARS-CoV-2 R.1 Lineage Variant in a Skilled Nursing Facility After Vaccination Program — Kentucky, March 2021" COVID-19 Outbreak Associated with a SARS-CoV-2 R.1 Lineage Variant in a Skilled Nursing Facility After Vaccination Program — Kentucky, March 2021 | MMWR
Parts of the CDC's summary include: "Vaccine was 86.5% protective against symptomatic illness among residents and 87.1% protective among HCP." and "Although COVID-19 mRNA vaccines demonstrated high efficacy in clinical trials (1), they were not 100% efficacious. Thus, some infections postvaccination are expected.".
So, even though the reported number of cases is statistically minuscule (so far) and even though this outbreak may prove to be an anomaly, using words like 'can't' and 'won't' when talking about the chances of a vaccinated person contracting Covid are just plain wrong.
