Dr Ahmed, please share the formula you used to calculate the transmission rate among vaccinated individuals, as compared to the un-vaccinated. The CDC has this to say about transmission by the vaccinated: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/variants/delta-variant.html. Also if we’re asking people to not risk their lives based on anecdotes shared via WhatsApp, is there a point in a public official mixing in anecdotal information with real statistics?
The problem with living according to what we insist on wanting rather than dealing with what is in front of us, is that reality ALWAYS wins. This is not the first pandemic in history.
