“Unvaccinated persons against COVID-19 have nothing to fear if they are surrounded by fully vaccinated individuals.”
What Vera Files found
While a vaccine “promise[s] protection against the severe form [of the disease], hospitalization, and even death,” the Department of Health reiterated that it is “not a magic bullet.” The World Health Organization (WHO) has advised vaccinated individuals to “keep taking precautions” since “we still don’t know the extent to which [a COVID-19 vaccine] keeps you from being infected and passing the virus on to others.”
