CDC, July 30: Vaxxed people usually won't get sick from Variant D, but CAN transmit it to others
In previous weeks, the CDC had said that fully-vaccinated people can't get sick from (original) Covid-19, and can't give it to others, even unvaccinated others.
But now Variant D is raising its ugly head, and the CDC is changing its tune as of today, July 30.
On July 27th, CDC updated its guidance for fully vaccinated people, recommending that everyone wear a mask in indoor public settings in areas of substantial and high transmission, regardless of vaccination status. This decision was made with the data and science available to CDC at the time, including a valuable public health partnership resulting in rapid receipt and review of unpublished data.
Today, some of those data were published in CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR), demonstrating that Delta infection resulted in similarly high SARS-CoV-2 viral loads in vaccinated and unvaccinated people. High viral loads suggest an increased risk of transmission and raised concern that, unlike with other variants, vaccinated people infected with Delta can transmit the virus. This finding is concerning and was a pivotal discovery leading to CDC’s updated mask recommendation. The masking recommendation was updated to ensure the vaccinated public would not unknowingly transmit virus to others, including their unvaccinated or immunocompromised loved ones.
Sounds like the only way to NOT get sick from this Variant D, is to get vaccinated. (95% efficacy, which means you still have a 5% chance of getting sick from it if you have close enough contact with an infected person. That's far better odds than if you don't get vaccinated.)
Easy solution, get vaccinated as soon as possible, and everyone wear masks and socially distance until that happens. We can be over this in a month if people did those simple things.

No you truly live in a fantasy land. Being vaccinated will not, full stop, - NOT- stop the virus from spreading. Neither will masks. Most of the spread is done by people indoors under the same roof.
Yes, vaccines will likely keep people from dying... good news.... but it will not stop the spread and there is a certain LARGE segment of the public that cannot get vaccinated or that vaccination will not work on.
So .05% of the public could still be 100K people -- who would die no matter what.
The best way to end this pandemic is to make counting corona virus cases and deaths illegal.

Do you consider it "easy" to get everybody vaccinated?

until the next variant comes out, lots of letters in the alphabet left that gives control freaks years worth of reason to scare and tell people what to do.

Did they, though? My understanding was that we could still get Covid-19, but in a milder form that probably wouldn't require hospitalization.
