The article debunks a claim that a study by the Oxford University Clinical Research Group found vaccinated individuals carry 251 times the viral load of COVID-19 compared to the unvaccinated. The study, which focused on breakthrough delta infections among vaccinated hospital staff in Vietnam, was misrepresented by an anti-vaccine organization. The study actually compared viral loads of vaccinated health care workers infected with the delta variant to those infected with earlier strains, not to unvaccinated individuals. Experts confirm that vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals have similar viral loads, but vaccinated people are less likely to transmit the virus and suffer severe illness. The article emphasizes the importance of vaccination and corrects the misinformation spread by the anti-vaccine article.

A recent study on breakthrough delta variant COVID-19 cases among vaccinated health care workers in Vietnam has been misrepresented by an anti-vaccine organization, Children’s Health Defense.

The misrepresentation falsely claims vaccinated individuals carry significantly higher viral loads than unvaccinated ones, which has been debunked by the study's authors and other experts. The study emphasizes the delta variant's higher transmissibility and the continued importance of safety measures and vaccination.
