They'd have to do broad-scale follow up random testing on asymptomatic vaccinated people, to see if any actually have undetected Covid, and then test to see if those people have a high enough viral load to actually be contagious (since its not as simple as saying "if you have it you can spread it" either)

Well tbh it seemed to make sense it would affect transmission to some degree. Especially if it lowers severe risk by lowering viral load in some way? Kind of assumed it worked that way given the emphasis on viral loads throughout all this. Seems pretty unanimous that viral load influences how ill you are..

Your post makes it seem very much like more data is out too on the asymptomatic spreader thing? Like, I genuinely hope so as the way teachers are being treat is nothing short of criminal, BUT if the data basically says people who dont get symptoms are not (generally, I know they cannot say for sure) dangerous, then the decision to brand schools as 'safe' again makes a little sense at least.

Sadly I was listening to the radio at the time and they reported that Public Health England where supposedly very concerned and suggested it could easily effect the ‘road map’ plans ...

Then Sky News was live at a major vaccine centre where they were reporting that the centre was only working at 20% due to a shortage of the vaccines... then added that next week the original people would be turning up to have their second dose .

I just worry

My cousins wife just got her vaccine cancelled due to 'lack of appointments'. A few in the area are, but that reason is kind of nonsense to me, as they HAD appointments that were then cancelled? If there were no appintments, they wouldn't have got one? A vaccine shortage makes more sense really..and would also make sense why its hushed up if its that so as not to panic the masses, so even if thats rumour, thanks, settled something in my head at least!
