Taiwan News: In another dispiriting setback for the nation’s efforts to stamp out the coronavirus, scientists who studied a big COVID-19 outbreak in Massachusetts concluded that vaccinated people who got so-called breakthrough infections carried about the same amount of the coronavirus as those who did not get the shots. .. About three-quarters of them were people who were fully vaccinated.

Separately:

Leaked internal documents on breakthrough infections and the delta variant suggest the CDC may be considering other changes in advice on how the nation fights the coronavirus, such as recommending masks for everyone and requiring vaccines for doctors and other health workers.

The documents appear to be talking points for CDC staff to use with the public. One point advised: “Acknowledge the war has changed,”

In the report, the measure researchers used to assess how much virus an infected person is carrying does not indicate whether they are actually transmitting the virus to other people, said Dr. Angela Rasmussen, a virologist at the University of Saskatchewan

Angela Rasmussen - she was a leading no-lab-leak activist. One of those where you can basically take the opposite of what she says to be true.

If the current vaccines don't work - i wonder how much appetite there will be for the boosters? Are you going to get 80% of the world to re-jab?
