It is false that this study from The New England Journal of Medicine showed that the vaccinated are contagious for longer than the unvaccinated | Univision News

Es false that a small study of New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), titled “Duration of Cultivable Virus Shedding in SARS-CoV-2 Omicron Infection (BA.1)” and published on July 21, 2022, show that unvaccinated people with covid-19 are contagious for less time than those who have the vaccines, as Aaron Kheriaty, a psychiatrist known for his criticism of the handling of the pandemic, spread on Twitter. Mark Siedner, one of the study’s co-authors, confirmed to elDetector that the claim is false and that, in fact, no difference was found by vaccination status (unvaccinated, vaccinated, or booster). Kherianty was fired in 2021 as a professor at the University of Irvine in California for advocating natural immunity and opposing vaccination to return to in-person classes.
