But one thing the vaccine does do as a happy side effect (if more people get a shot) is it reduces the length of the disease, which would inherently reduce the rate of transmission.
If you're sick for a month VS just a week, you're gonna be more likely to spread it more.
But I'll wait for you to throw up another false strawman.

You do realize I said that exact thing? Let’s read it together this time:
“The fine print is it could be argued that getting over covid easier due to being vaccinated might involve releasing fewer droplets into an environment (due less severe symptoms) so maybe in that regard someone being vaccinated could slightly protect those around from catching it but that would probably only be for those living in your household”
So you’re coming up with a scenario of someone who would be sick a month, which would be pretty severe for covid, would only be sick a week and therefore not spread as much? I would imagine if they were as sick as a month of covid would be, that they would follow orders to quarantine regardless. So like I said, it could help to protect those in the household
Another scenario: a very healthy person gets vaccinated. They probably would have easily gotten over covid without the vaxx with only 1 day of fever. Now with the vaxx, they don’t get the fever, and think they just have a small cough. So they don’t get tested and instead go to work. That’s a scenario where getting over symptoms easier became a bad thing, in regards to virulence
That’s why I said there’s a lot of hypotheticals
