Hmm, sounds familiar.
I wonder what % of people get the flu vaccine each year. Less sick = less distribution of virus cells.


I don't think it's that simple. The vaccine keeps you from getting sick. It doesn't keep you from transporting the virus around with you and spreading it.

Technically vaccinated or not one can be a carrier, the % of being a carrier if vaccinated is greatly reduced. Also 25% or so of carriers have no symptoms.
Therefore I'll stand behind my original post. People being vaccinated, cleanliness and avoiding sick people are all part of a society reducing chance of pandemic (from whatever malady). \
I feel we're better for all the vaccines children and pets are given. Smallpox, polio, distemper, parvo, rabies are all drastically reduced or even eliminated by vaccines. Good likelihood CV19 will be as well.
