Myths about COVID-19 vaccines span a broad spectrum of plausibility, with the far end being theories about microchips and the ability to magnetically stick a spoon to your forehead.

But one of the more believable myths circulating is that vaccinated people are just as likely as unvaccinated people to transmit the virus.   

It’s been used as a key discussion point for anti-vaxxers because it sounds credible.

They have used it as “proof” that vaccination remains a personal choice and does not need to be mandated because it does not offer protection from disease to the wider community.
