It's obvious to me, but I've never heard anyone say it, so I will. Before the vaccine it was possible to spread COVID even if you didn't have symptoms. So social distancing was essential to stop the spread, even of apparently healthy people. Now that we have vaccines that prevent symptomatic COVID, but not infection, if you're vaccinated you're fine.
Before vaccine: If you have no symptoms you're a danger. Vaccine stops symptoms but not transmission. After vaccine: If you have no symptoms you're fine. HOW FUCKING STUPID DO THEY THINK I AM
It's obvious to me, but I've never heard anyone say it, so I will. Before the vaccine it was possible to spread COVID *even if you didn't have symptoms*. So social distancing was essential to stop the spread, even of apparently healthy people. Now that we have vaccines that prevent *symptomatic* COVID, but not infection, if you're vaccinated you're fine.
