If you&amp;#x27;re not vaccinated, and you get COVID, there&amp;#x27;s a non-zero chance that you&amp;#x27;ll be the source of someone else&amp;#x27;s breakthrough case.&lt;p&gt;This statement is also true: If you&amp;#x27;re vaccinated, and you get COVID, there&amp;#x27;s a non-zero chance that you&amp;#x27;ll be the source of someone else&amp;#x27;s breakthrough case.&lt;p&gt;So, the quote is kind of useless. The unvaccinated probably do spread COVID faster and with more frequency. So, the directionality of the quote is fine. But it reads like a boolean statement, which is incorrect. COVID is almost certainly endemic at this point. Vaccines clearly help, but it&amp;#x27;s incorrect to blame all of the mutations and spread on the unvaccinated.</text></comment>
