'That's a lie': Biden falsely claims that vaccinated people 'cannot spread' COVID-19

President Joe Biden on Thursday falsely claimed that individuals vaccinated against COVID-19 "Cannot spread" the virus to others.

"My administration is now requiring federal workers to be vaccinated. We've also required federal contractors to be vaccinated. If you have a contract with the federal government, working for the federal government, you have to be vaccinated," he continued.

"Because if you seek care at a health care facility, you should have the certainty that the pro- - the people providing that care are protected from COVID and cannot spread it to you."

"Joe Biden falsely says covid vaccinated people can't spread the virus. That's a lie," Travis wrote.

In its latest guidance on the coronavirus Delta variant, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention acknowledged that "Fully vaccinated people with Delta variant breakthrough infections can spread the virus to others."

The CDC's guidance is reflective of scientific studies which have found that both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals who test positive for COVID-19 infection carry a similar amount of viral load, regardless of whether they have symptoms or not.

While public health experts maintain that COVID-19 vaccines are extremely effective at preventing severe illness from the disease requiring hospitalization or causing death, it is simply not true that vaccinated individuals cannot spread the virus, especially as it pertains to the Delta variant.
