"Super spreader" is funny and sort of describes the possible effect quite well. It is also why if I was in industry and had to return to an office to work and was required to wear a mask to protect the unvaccinated, then I'd probably secretly refer to them under my breath as vaxholes. My libertarian opinion is that it is fine for anyone to not get vaccinated but their rights end where mine begin so that means STF home and isolate until this is over. OR the GOP states are correct and they take their risks and I shouldn't be forced to wear a mask indoors to protect them. Here in the dysfunctional blue states we give free housing, drugs and needles to addicts to "protect them" then get upset with homeowners who protest the free housing sites being constructed in their neighborhoods. We seem to apply the same bankrupt ideals to those who don't want to get vaccinated.... that it is our duty to protect bad, selfish choices others make in life. As for "unproven science" the freaking industry can't tell me if eating steak is healthy or not. Some say the best way to live longer is go Keto and only eat meat with loads of fat, veggies and don't eat any carbs... not even fruit. Another group says eat the Mediterranean diet with 4 servings of whole grains (healthy carbs), lots of fruit and veggies and some meat but with also fish and poultry. Then there is TB12, Tom Brady, and many of the basketball stars playing well into their late 30s who are on a plant based diet... my guess is they have to hire private cooks. Frustrating in that all say avoid sugar and that is what we all enjoy the most!

vaccinees are more dangerous if they have no symptoms from Delta. Many of the unvaccinated also get covid with few to no symptoms. The problem is that those who show no symptoms likely didn't get a lot of antibodies (The symptoms are the reaction that produces antibodies). The vaccinated usually had symptoms at time time of the jab. This means that both groups can spread the virus equally well, but the unvaccinated are much more likely to get very sick, hospitalized, die, and otherwise cost us taxpayers more than they are worth.
