| specing | the virus has a hard time escaping when your body is actively slaughtering it | 05:07 |
| Trippy72894 | specing: so you're saying you can get vaxd, then get delta, the vax works to kill delta, but not as effectively as it did killing the original covid, and because the vax is killing delta, it reduces the amount of delta leaving your face and infecting others. | 05:10 |
| Trippy72894 | is that right? | 05:10 |
| specing | the vaccine is not killing anything, your body is doing the killing | 05:11 |
| specing | also sounds about right | 05:11 |
| Trippy72894 | of course, sorry. ok then because of your body killing the virus, thanks to the vax, less delta is coming out of your face and you are less contagious. | 05:12 |
| Trippy72894 | can i tell my friends that to shut them up? | 05:12 |
