I saw a Tweet today from a doctor who caught COVID even though she was vaccinated after spending two days seeing COVID patients. But here’s the kicker - she saw the patients briefly, she wore a mask and she saw them outside.
That’s how contagious these new variants are. Be careful folks and don’t forget to mask up. Personally I’m back double masking with an N95.
[ID: Two Tweets from Dr. Claudia William MD, MScHAL @DrCSWilliam “I woke up and feel like shit after seeing > 60 ppl with COVID symptoms in the last 48 hrs. Headache, Runny nose, my body hurts, coughing, feeling hot & no it’s not allergies. It’s called a breakthrough infection, glad I’m vaccinated but this is not good at all. 🥺😢😬 I spent very little time with patients face to face, if I did, it was outside. Fully masked up. Why am I saying this? Because this means the variants are HIGHLY contagious, which matches the data we have seen about the delta variant. We need to be taking EXTRA precautions not less.”]
Vaccines continue to be effective, particularly at preventing severe disease, according to the document. But they may not be as good at prev
July 30th 2021
Highlight 1
The document, obtained Friday by NBC News and first published by The Washington Post, explains the scientific background behind the agency’s change in mask guidance earlier this week.
It concludes that the delta variant is “highly contagious, likely to be more severe” and that “breakthrough infections may be as transmissible as unvaccinated cases.”
Researchers have been focusing on viral load — a term for just how much of the virus is present in infected peoples’ bodies — which can affect transmissibility and severity. Infections with the delta variant lead to higher levels of virus in the body, even in breakthrough cases in fully vaccinated individuals, the document said. Virus levels can be as high in breakthrough cases as in unvaccinated people, even if vaccinated people don’t get nearly as sick.
Highlight 2
The document notes that the risk of infection is threefold lower in vaccinated people, and the risk of severe disease or death is at least tenfold lower in vaccinated people.
One piece of evidence cited in the document came from an outbreak in Provincetown, Massachusetts, where 74 percent of cases were in fully vaccinated individuals. In a report on the outbreak published Friday by the CDC, researchers said that the delta variant was implicated in 89 percent of cases, and in the breakthrough cases, 79 percent of people developed symptoms.
Of note, PCR tests, which are used to determine if someone is infected, showed similar levels of the virus in vaccinated people compared to unvaccinated people. PCR results, the CDC wrote, “might reflect the level of infectious virus.” In other words, it could suggest that vaccinated people are as contagious as unvaccinated people.
Highlight 3
The internal CDC document also provided more concrete numbers on breakthrough infections, estimating that at current levels, there are 35,000 symptomatic breakthrough infections per week among the 162 million fully vaccinated adults in the U.S. The agency stopped providing public information on most breakthrough infections in April, when the tally hit 10,000. From that point on, the CDC website only posted data on breakthrough infections that led to hospitalization or death.
It also details just how much more contagious the delta variant is than earlier versions of the coronavirus. A chart included in the document states that it is more transmissible than the flu, the common cold and even smallpox and is on par with chickenpox, considered among the most contagious common viruses.
If that’s not enough to convince you to go back to taking the same precautions as you were taking pre-vaccines, there’s also some evidence that breakthrough infections may be capable of leading to Long COVID (PASC) even in the vaccinated:

“What’s the point of getting vaccinated at this point?”
Not getting sick enough to be hospitalized or killed by the virus. Vaccination is still incredibly fucking important.
It can also cause erectile dysfunction. You’d think all those manly men would want to avoid that but apparently not.
HI LET’S SHARE NICOLE’S WORDS ON THE SUBJECT!
It has been literal years but every time I see Martin’s tweets posted somewhere and his word is shared as truth while her post is not shared it sort of reiterates the fact that we trust men to speak about feminism more than we believe women who experience it.
Interesting, innit? https://medium.com/@nickyknacks/working-while-female-59a5de3ad266
Reading her account of how their boss treated her blows me away. Men are so emboldened that they will literally admit to illegal discrimination casually and face no consequences.
In all the years of seeing this post I’ve never seen a link to her side. Didn’t even know she’d written one.
Adding screenshots of her post. His whole post is there without needing a link. Hers should be, too.
Also, she posted this is 2017! It’s fucking 2020 and I’ve seen his side of this for years, but it took 3 years for her side to make its way to my dash…
I’ve reblogged his story at least twice; it’s time for Nicole’s.
I got so angry while reading her side of it
good for her tho like Nicole you icon <3
I just thought of a great way to explain DID to kids!!!! Make it a cartoon!!
Think about it ‘hi my name is Donna, this is Lizzie and this is frag. We all occupy one person but can change who we are’
And have like this cool animation pop
The phrase “this made me think of you” is my favorite thing someone can ever say to me
Struggling with eating disorder urges amidst the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic 😔
The morning after I do some trauma work:
When did you know you were a little?
I wanna say early 2015 is when i started.
when i'm little
- “dadddyyyyy” - “nuhuh!” or “mhm!!” - LOTS of exclamation marks - that one voice - constantly picking fights - pretending that i’m big so that i can be told i am 100% NOT - making words like thisssss - shortening words - talking kinda quiet - “thats a bad word!!” - probably cuddling something

Ravenclaw: The quarantine is bad for my productivity.
Gryffindor: Why? You have more time.
Ravenclaw: Exactly, I no longer have an excuse for my procrastination.
What are your plans for this week?
Also, Harry Potter fans, I’m curious to know what is your favourite book from the series?
