Vaccinated individuals aren't hosts. They don't infect others unless they have been re-infected.

The Delta version is a mutation. That is what a virus does if not controlled. The spike was because Delta is more infectious, thus more unvaccinated people are getting it than 19. It has nothing to do with vaccinated people.

A vaccinated individual with an asymptomatic infection, would be a host. Just clarifying. I think that's what he meant.

Bingo! Even Vaccinated with symptoms would be classified as a host which puts them in the same category as an unvaccinated person. That's all I am saying...

What I assumed the original question was is--can a vaccinated person still infect others. My answer was no unless they have been reinfected. The risk they have been re-infected, a breakthrough case, is a minuscule percentage.

Asymptomatic means they have the virus, have been re-infected but aren't showing any symptoms.

There are also infected/re-infected asymptomatic unvaccinated people as well. It's hard to compare or study it precisely since it impacts every infected person differently vaccinated or not.

Of course there are. What do you mean by compare or study? Who has posted a comparison?
