You've continued to post tons of submissions, almost all about this one divisive topic and other ideological topics, even after we asked you to stop: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27469001. That's not cool. It's not what this site is for.

If you keep this up, we're going to have to take submission privileges away from your account, so would you please fix this? HN is for intellectual curiosity, not political/ideological battle, and definitely not for agenda-driven accounts.

TL;DR "Conclusions As this field continues to develop, clinicians and public health practitioners should consider vaccinated persons who become infected with SARS-CoV-2 to be no less infectious than unvaccinated persons."

The reason to get vaccinated is to reduce the likely severity of your symptoms when (not if) you get infected. The idea that it will prevent you from getting sick, or transmitting it to others if you do, is not holding up so well.

Not that I really believe masks or lockdowns work all that well either, so really it looks to me like we're almost all going to get it, and that's that. Hopefully most of us will be vaccinated first.
