Vaccinated People Do Not "Shed" Viruses to Others

This month, sources have been claiming that it is unhealthy for unvaccinated people to be near people who have received the coronavirus vaccine. A range of social media users began posting claims that the coronavirus vaccine was causing vaccinated individuals to “shed” the virus onto unvaccinated people. Some of the symptoms that users are claiming the vaccines are spreading include blood clots, miscarriages, infertility, severe menstrual bleeding, and a range of other conditions. “Shedding” is being used as a synonym for spreading in this instance.
