The chances of a vaccinated person infecting an unvaccinated person are pretty much zero.
We're told:

a full course will reduce your chance of becoming seriously ill. We don’t know how much it will reduce the risk of you passing on the virus.

https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... accination

And the other Fauci (not your, obvs) says:

It’s feasible that a fully vaccinated person can be an asymptomatic carrier of COVID, and potentially transmit the virus, including the more contagious delta variant, Dr. Anthony Fauci said during an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” July 4.

That quote from Fauci was two weeks ago, he's changed his mind at least a dozen times since then.

Dated yesterday:

Fully vaccinated people have a reduced risk of transmitting SARS-CoV-2 to unvaccinated people.

Do you not grasp that as we learn more about this virus and the vaccine effects and the evidence changes then scientists viewpoints may change. Is that not a good thing?

You're mixing up what the CDC says with what Fauci says. They agree one day & contradict each the next, usually because Fauci changed his mind again, not the CDC.

I may have been at risk from something else entirely this afternoon, this happened just before I got to Wally World:

All the big supermarkets are I think.

I think the only difference tomorrow will make to me is that I don't have to turn back if I forget my mask. I'll still wear one though (unless I forget it that is :D)

"Over 46% of our local adult population have received a first dose and 27% have had both jabs. This leaves 27% that have not been vaccinated at all"

Not really relevant to his point, but counting fail I think? Surely 54% haven't been vaccinated - which is even worse.

At a guess this "only" is required.

Biden blaming FB for people not getting the vaccine... fails to realize that the rate among FB users (at least in the US) is 85%... Perhaps his mixed messaging is to blame.. like wearing a mask after he was vaccinated.. or wearing one during zoom calls (WTF was that about?).. & ignoring the CDC guidelines etc.

How can they know what the rate is among facebook users? :?: Not without access to secret chip data anyway.

Surely it's the 27% that have had no vaccine?

46% have had one dose
27% have had two doses
27% have had no vaccine at all

Makes 100% counted??!!

46 have had one dose.
27 have had two dose, but they're included in the 46 who've had one.

OOOOOPPPSSS I FUCKED UP !

One of the staff here on the campsite has got covid, naturally she's confined to her mobile home and the rest of us are being even more careful until we can all get tests 5 days after hers (mine was this morning, I'm negative).

Yesterday evening I saw the staff member in question wandering around the campsite, not even wearing a mask!! I went straight to the reception and reported it as I felt it was a disgraceful way to behave. The campsite owner called me to confirm then called the girl's boss explaining that she'd been seen and that she would be kicked off the site the second her quarantine ended and would never be able to work here again.
It was at this point that the girls boss explained "she's in her mobile, I've been talking to her through the window for the last 30 minutes, There's no way she's been seen on the other side of the campsite 10 minutes ago".

It turned out the girl's doppelgänger is currently on holiday here, someone else saw her just a few minutes later !

I do feel bad about it and I apologised to the Campsite owner, but I also feel that I was doing the right thing ?

You shouldn't feel bad about a genuine honest mistake.

But maybe you should have done a bit more checking before reporting her.
