A groundbreaking preprint paper by the prestigious Oxford University Clinical Inquiry Group, published Aug. ten in The Lancet, includes alarming findings devastating to the COVID vaccine rollout.

The report found vaccinated individuals conduct 251 times the load of COVID-xix viruses in their nostrils compared to the unvaccinated.

While moderating the symptoms of infection, the jab allows vaccinated individuals to carry unusually loftier viral loads without condign ill at showtime, potentially transforming them into presymptomatic superspreaders.

This miracle may be the source of the shocking post-vaccination surges in heavily vaccinated populations globally.

The paper'south authors, Chau et al, demonstrated widespread vaccine failure and transmission nether tightly controlled circumstances in a hospital lockdown in Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam.

The scientists studied healthcare workers who were unable to leave the infirmary for 2 weeks. The data showed that fully vaccinated workers — about two months after injection with the Oxford/AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine (AZD1222) — acquired, carried and presumably transmitted the Delta variant to their vaccinated colleagues.

They about certainly also passed the Delta infection to susceptible unvaccinated people, including their patients. Sequencing of strains confirmed the workers transmitted SARS-CoV-2 to one another.

This is consistent with the observations in the U.S. from Farinholt and colleagues , and coinciding with comments by the manager of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention conceding COVID-xix vaccines have failed to stop transmission of SARS-CoV-2.

On Feb. 11, the World Wellness Organization indicated the AZD1222 vaccine efficacy of 63.09% against the development of symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection. The conclusions of the Chau paper support the warnings past leading medical experts that the partial, not-sterilizing immunity from the 3 notoriously "leaky" COVID-nineteen vaccines permit wagon of 251 times the viral load of SARS-CoV-ii as compared to samples from the pre-vaccination era in 2020.

Thus, nosotros have a key piece to the puzzle explaining why the Delta outbreak is and then formidable — fully vaccinated are participating as COVID-19 patients and acting as powerful Typhoid Mary-way super-spreaders of the infection.

Vaccinated individuals are blasting out concentrated viral explosions into their communities and fueling new COVID surges. Vaccinated healthcare workers are well-nigh certainly infecting their coworkers and patients, causing horrendous collateral harm.

Continued vaccination volition only make this problem worse, particularly among frontline doctors and nurses workers who are caring for vulnerable patients.

Health systems should drop vaccine mandates immediately, take stock of COVID-19 recovered workers who are robustly immune to Delta and consider the ramifications of their electric current vaccinated healthcare workers as potential threats to high risk patients and coworkers.

CLARIFICATION: The comparison of viral load between vaccinated and unvaccinated (pre-vaccine era) equally reported in the Chau et al. 2021 Lancet preprint is between 2 dissimilar variants of SARS-CoV-two. Dr. McCullough states directly that samples were compared to those "from the pre-vaccination era of 2020." Thus, differences between these two groups aren't a result of vaccination status lonely.The authors of the Chau et al. 2021 written report in their rebuttal to our slice bespeak out another preprint (Li et al. 2021) which reported a difference in viral load of ~1000 between patients infected with the Delta variant and patients infected with A/B. Still, the vaccination condition of the Delta variant patients in this preprint is not reported. Thus, no i hither has done a direct comparison betwixt unvaccinated Delta patients and unvaccinated A/B patients to decide the true difference in viral load. In 2 additional preprint scientific publications (Riemersma et al. 2021, Chia et al. 2021), comparable viral loads of the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-ii are reported among vaccinated and unvaccinated patients. Even so, this itself is an indictment of vaccine efficacy as both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals possess the ability to spread the Delta variant. Merely stated, COVID vaccines have failed to end transmission of SARS-CoV-2.
