Are we there yet?
I don't know, have you looked up the meaning of virulent yet? Less virulent means the characteristics of the virus have changed making less deadly which is not the case. That is way different then being less contagious/infectious. Yes, there is a lower viral load in vaccinated people and their bodies clear the virus faster, both meaning vaccinated people are less likely to infect others. You simply avoided my first question...
