Well this article has since been proved horribly wrong, in that the vaccinated can spread the virus as much, if not more so than the unvaccinated. The CDC, FDA and NIH have all agreed, publicly, that the vaccine does not stop the spread of the virus, nor does it stop the infection of the vaccinated. And now with Omicron it is the vaccinated that are the larger number that are getting more seriously infected 102.39.192.117 (talk) 16:31, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
As it relates to COVID-19, this article is not talking about shedding caused by actual infection by the virus in vaccinated or unvaccinated individuals. It is talking about whether COVID-19 vaccination itself (which does not cause COVID-19 infection) can directly cause shedding of the spike protein or virus, and secondary sources are clear in saying this cannot happen. I will adjust the wording to mitigate ambiguity on this point. Fiwec81618 (talk) 18:51, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
Clarifying other possible misconceptions: does not stop the spread of the virus, nor does it stop the infection of the vaccinatednormal transmission via normal exposure to infected and contagious people (not vaccine shedding related). Then so far, the current mRNA vaccines provide partial protection against symptomatic infection, but more protection against severe COVID-19 disease. —PaleoNeonate – 05:24, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
