Why COVID vaccine mandates are completely nonsensical, by Steve Kirsch

The vaccinated and unvaccinated can carry the same viral loads of Covid-19. You’re just as likely to catch Covid from the vaccinated as the unvaccinated. Vaccine mandates are as useless as every other mandate promulgated since the outbreak began. By Steve Kirsch at stevekirsch.substack.com:

A short proof based on a new UC Davis/UCSF study showing the viral loads of the vaccinated and unvaccinated are identical.

Let’s be clear.

COVID vaccine mandates are necessary because the protected need to be protected from the unprotected by forcing the unprotected to use the protection that didn’t protect the protected.

Get it?

A study from UC Davis and UCSF authors published on October 5, 2021 show conclusively that the viral loads are exactly the the same in vaccinated and unvaccinated.

“No Significant Difference in Viral Load Between Vaccinated and Unvaccinated, Asymptomatic and Symptomatic Groups Infected with SARS-CoV-2 Delta Variant.

The data gathered in this study during the surge of the Delta variant strongly support the notion that neither vaccine status nor the presence or absence of symptoms should influence the recommendation and implementation of good public health practices, including mask wearing, testing, social distancing, and other measures designed to mitigate the spread of SARS-CoV-2.”

In other words, the latest data from UCSF shows that basing public health practices on vaccination status is nonsensical. A person who is unvaccinated is just as likely to have and spread COVID as someone who is vaccinated. They are no different. If they were different, we’d see it clearly in that study (which sampled people at random times).

Study Destroys Justification for Vaccine Mandates, by Aaron Siri

If the vaccinated have higher viral loads than the unvaccinated, then perhaps all public venues should be closed to the vaccinated, to protect the unvaccinated. From Aaron Siri at aaronsiri.substack.com:

CDC and State Health Department scientists find similar or higher viral load of Covid-19 virus among the vaccinated as compared to the unvaccinated

Civil and individual rights are only meaningful if they continue to protect individuals during difficult situations.  It is why the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the right of neo-Nazis to march through Jewish neighborhoods.  It is why it upheld the right to burn the American flag.  Protecting these rights when it is difficult protects us all.  It assures that government will not erode these civil and individual rights, including during a pandemic.

The CDC and State Health Department scientists just released a study that again reflects the dangers of making civil and individual rights contingent on a medical procedure.  This study, titled Shedding of Infectious SARS-CoV-2 Despite Vaccination, reviewed swab specimens from 36 counties in Wisconsin from the end of June to the end of July 2021.   They then checked the viral load of SARS-CoV-2 in each swab.

What did they find?  High viral load in “158 of 232 unvaccinated (68%…) and 156 of 225 fully vaccinated (69%…) symptomatic individuals.”  Meaning there was effectively no difference between the symptomatic vaccinated and unvaccinated in terms of who was carrying, and therefore spreading, the virus.

But the study does not end there.  It also found high viral loads in “7 of 24 unvaccinated (29%…) and 9 of 11 fully vaccinated asymptomatic individuals (82%…).” Meaning, among asymptomatic individuals, the vaccinated had a higher percentage with a high viral load.  As I explained in an interview with Shannon Bream, this reflects that the unvaccinated that catch the virus are more likely to be at home in bed with symptoms, while the vaccinated that catch the virus are more likely to have no symptoms and hence continue their daily routine unknowingly spreading the virus.
