Covid, Locatelli: “Only 12% of vaccinated people become infected”

Only 12% of vaccinated people become infected and in turn can infect. This was stated, in an interview with Corriere della sera, by Franco Locatelli, coordinator of the CTS technical-scientific committee. “As also stated by the virologist Anthony Fauci, there is a limited percentage (from the Italian data the estimate is 12%) of fully immunized subjects who can become infected, almost always without developing disease, and infect – explains the expert – To what extent they do so in comparison to the unvaccinated deserves further studies, in particular aimed at defining the viral load in their airways, nose and throat. Together with the exposure time this represents the determining factor for the contagion. It is an event. rare and even rarer is the possibility that a vaccinated person, even if infected, ends up in hospital. Protection from severe forms of the disease is greater than 95% and contributes to significantly reduce viral circulation, with the risk of new variants emerging “.
