Top medical journal publishes article concluding vaccine mandates not justified

The prestigious British medical journal The Lancet has published an article by a University of Colorado infectious disease scientist concluding vaccine mandates should be reconsidered in light of studies finding the vaccines are not stopping transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

"Yet, the demonstration of COVID-19 breakthrough infections among fully vaccinated health-care workers in Israel, who in turn may transmit this infection to their patients, requires a reassessment of compulsory vaccination policies leading to the job dismissal of unvaccinated HCW in the USA.".

It found, as WND reported, that people vaccinated against COVID-19 were as likely to spread the delta variant to contacts in their household as those who had not been vaccinated.

Scientists, including researchers at the Imperial College of London, studied 621 people in the United Kingdom who had mild COVID-19 and found that the peak viral load of the vaccinated was similar to the unvaccinated.

There are further studies showing the viral load in the upper airways of the lungs is similar in vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals.

The Colorado researcher cited an investigation by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of an outbreak of COVID-19 in a Texas prison that found there was no difference in the presence of infectious virus in the nasopharynx of vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals.

"Public-health officials ruined many lives by insisting that workers with natural immunity to Covid-19 be fired if they weren't fully vaccinated. But after two years of accruing data, the superiority of natural immunity over vaccinated immunity is clear," Makary said.
