@donnellymjd @apoorva_nyc @dzeitzoff In addition to the statistical issues I've outlined, many experts think that Ct values are a poor proxy for transmissibility and the study certainly does not provide any sort of clinical proof of how often vaccinated people are transmitting. https://t.co/vsiLSH6RN4 — PolitiTweet.org

@donnellymjd @apoorva_nyc @dzeitzoff Also, it's not a 100% accurate description of the research. It is a *highly* debatable conclusion.

@donnellymjd @apoorva_nyc @dzeitzoff That's not correct. The study authors said *viral loads* *might* be similar. They did *not* make any claims about *transmission*. It's a big leap from viral loads -> transmission. The study also included many caveats that did not appear in the NYT story. https://t.co/jF3BO94oh0 https://t.co/lcsdLtGiRY — PolitiTweet.org
