TNC: 'A recent article published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ) titled “Impact of population mixing between vaccinated and unvaccinated subpopulations on infectious disease dynamics: implications for SARS-CoV-2 transmission” has garnered much medical and societal attention.
'The article uses unproven and subjective mathematical models in an attempt to simulate one’s COVID-19 infection risk across various patterns of interactions with both vaccinated and vaccine-free individuals.
'The author concludes that individuals who avoid vaccination contribute to negative health consequences for others. “The risk of infection [is] markedly higher among unvaccinated people than among vaccinated people under all [population interaction] assumptions.”'
