"Instead of the virus being able to hop from person to person to person, potentially mutating and becoming more virulent and drug-resistant along the way, now we know that the vaccines work well enough that the virus stops with every vaccinated person," Maddow asserted, echoing the understanding most people had at the time of vaccines and how they work.
"A vaccinated person gets exposed to the virus, the virus does not infect them... The virus cannot then use that person to go anywhere else. It cannot use a vaccinated person as a host to go get more people."
"That means the vaccines will get us to the end of this, if we just go fast enough to get the whole population."
