> And we have -- we can kind of almost see the end. We`re vaccinating so very fast, our data from the CDC today suggests, you know, that vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don`t get sick, and that it`s not just in the clinical trials but it`s also in real world data.

This quote is literally from the director of the CDC (source in comment above). I mean.. who better to 'trust'?




It's one of several quotes repeatedly dragged up in these discussions.

Which peer reviewed paper was that quote sourced from? Which medical conference lecture was that statement made in?

Oh, it was from a regular simplified human to human conversation in which the CDC director was indicating a comparitive result?

WRT ppm's etc was that an accurate call of magnitude of difference in outcomes at that time?


It's the director of the CDC, it's not some rando on youtube. They mentioned the CDC data.

Don't be a skeptic now, trust the science. If we can't trust the director of the CDC, who can we trust? Some rando on youtube saying that vaccines won't protect you from getting and spreading covid? Oh wait.. we banned those people from pretty much every social network, and guess what, they were correct.

Come on.. be fair.. like really... if we were discussing this in the spring of 2021, and that interview was just on tv, and i said:

> "well, she said that vaccinated people won't get sick, won't carry the virus, but i think that she's wrong, she didn't say stuff correctly, vaccinated people will still massively get sick and also carry and spread the virus, her 'real world data' is bullshit, i want to see her sources, she's lying without those"

...what would you tell me? Would you say "yes, you're correct, it was just a human-to-human conversation, it was simplified, there's no data that her sentance is correct, there's no proof of what she said,..."? Or would you just call me an antivaxer?
