A research paper published in The Lancet authored by a German professor argued that governments’ stigmatization of unvaccinated individuals is “not justified” because fully vaccinated individuals play a “relevant role” in transmitting COVID-19.

“In the USA and Germany, high-level officials have used the term ‘pandemic of the unvaccinated,’ suggesting that people who have been vaccinated are not relevant in the epidemiology of COVID-19,” wrote Professor Gunter Kampf, of the Institute of Hygiene and Environmental Medicine at the University of Greifswald in Germany.
