FactCheck: Are vaccinated people as likely to transmit Covid-19 as non-vaccinated people?

A TD made the claim this week, leading to the Minister for Health criticising the spread of 'anti-vax information'

We spoke to the author of the study referenced by the TD, who said the claim was incorrect

The study's results were complex and it's easy to see how messages became mixed around the findings, writes Brianna Parkins
