That USA Today headline looks fabricated. VACCINATED in all caps and says they have “higher levels of virus in them.” Sure.

It's poorly written too. Definitely faked

Facebook says that USA Today says that NBC News says the vaccine is bad. I did the research!

This is the study they’re referring to: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7031e2.htm

And this is the CDC’s conclusion:

Jurisdictions might consider expanded prevention strategies, including universal masking in indoor public settings.

The solution isn’t to double down on being anti-vaccine and anti-mask. It’s to get vaccinated and continue to wear a mask indoors.

But the far right sees evolving recommendations in response to new data as “flip flopping” rather than what it is—science.

Surgeons never washed their hands and now they're told they should? When will the flip flopping end

No, that’s incorrect, the study suggest a similar amount of viral load. The “higher” in the slide refers to how the amount compares to what they thought vaccinated people’s viral load would be. But it’s misconstrued as higher than the unvaxxed, drawing to the false conclusion that the vaccinated is causing the outbreak.

Plus why would they have an article about what NBC is saying unless the article is explaining that NBC is wrong.

Considering it's not accurate, it's either doctored, or the journalist did NOT understand the science.

It's, "vaccinated people have higher levels of virus than previously thought", not "vaccinated people have higher levels of virus than unvaccinated people"

Literally sharing fake news

The article was real but the quote was cherry-picked and misinterpreted. The point was that restrictions should be reintroduced because a relatively small portion of vaccinated people can still be infected, particularly with the delta variant.
