This article is quite interesting, but I don't think it's particularly applicable to COVID-19. COVID-19 doesn't kill the vast majority of the people it infects, and when it does, it happens several weeks later, when they aren't spreading the virus anyway.<p>And while the vaccines are "leaky", they appear to make people much less likely to spread the virus, not more.
I read this thinking what probably many think reading this, which is "wow is this the parallel to vaccine hesitancy somehow causing the delta variant to dominate" – but so far the more obvious reason for what's sadly looking to be another spike worldwide, has just been vaccine hesitancy, something that doesn't exist with chickens.
This article will get flagged, of course, but it is an instance of an interesting phenomenon: the number of (often crypto) vaccine-skeptical articles being posted and upvoted on HN indicates there is a significant contingent here that is vaccine-skeptical. However, despite that, you rarely see vaccine-skeptical comments.<p>An interesting dynamic.
