“It is the fact that these vaccines, whatever their efficacy in other areas, do not prevent transmission of the virus. This single fact — which has long been known but is barely ever mentioned — blows apart the case for vaccine passports, segregation, lockdowns of the ‘unvaxxed’ and all such similar measures. Even if you believe (or pretend to) that this virus is dangerous enough to justify the radical new forms of authoritarianism which have emerged around it — and I certainly don’t — those forms will fail anyway if both vaccinated and unvaccinated people can spread it; which we know they can.”
