If this applies to your thinking, can I ask why you wouldn't have an unvaccinated person inside your house with others?

So, at some point in the not too distant future, I will likely have a small gathering inside my house. We are double jabbed. Most people I know are double jabbed but a couple aren't.

I'm trying to work through the rationale behind not wanting them (instinctively) in my house. But surely, whilst they might be more likely to transmit CV, a double jabber can also do this? Surely, the risk is more towards the non-vaccinated - who, ironically, are safer because we've all been jabbed?

Am I missing something?

Both are just as likely.

Not quite. Seemingly those vaccinated can still transmit it but you’ve got to get symptomatic covid in the first place, which the vaccines help stop from happening.

I think it applies to asymptomatic covid too…

I am extremely pro vaccine, but I think the rationale for vaxxing has shifted a bit.

The vaccines seem to provide a lot less protection from passing the virus on than was originally hoped---though there is of course some.

I can understand banning the non jabbed person if there are special reasons, like elderly or vulnerable people who cannot be vaccinated within the household. Otherwise it seems like overkill, since the main risk is to the vaccine refuser themselves.

I do still get annoyed with the refusers, as they are creating difficult ethical dilemmas for everyone else. I have one friend who is still refusing the jab. I love her and have no intention of changing the friendship, but she ticks some risk boxes and I do worry that I could unwittingly pass the virus on to her even though I am double jabbed. It puts me in a worrying position.
