This morning Fauci told MSNBC that new data shows the viral load in a vaccinated person infected with the Delta variant is about 1,000 times higher than a vaccinated person infected with the Alpha variant. In other words, the Delta variant makes someone more contagious than the previous Alpha variant, despite having had full doses of the vaccine. Got it?
Now check this out, which is right from the CDC’s website and was updated yesterday:
As Alicia Smith pointed out on Twitter:
“We need clarity on this. Below citation would suggest that the CDC’s assertion yesterday that they have data showing vaccinated individuals can transmit delta variant due to similar viral load as unvaccinated is partially based off of…a model…using non-US approved vaccines.“
Could it be that the studies the Biden CDC is relying on for this new guidance, at least partially, are studies based on vaccines that aren’t in use or even approved for use in the US?
In the very next sentence the CDC goes on to site ‘unpublished data’, which they say is consistent with this non-US study. But that kinda feels like they are using an anonymous source to bolster a study that doesn’t really apply to us.
But it gets worse:
Also worth noting: The study cited did not even pass peer review, and is under revision..
Could be the case that the cited “unpublished data” and “ongoing experiments” reach a similar conclusion, but would have prefer that to be made available/completed before guidance change…

So this study cited by the CDC may not even be all that accurate. Wow. I’d say we definitely need some clarity on this and it’d be nice if we had a media who would help us get it.
