"The mRNA vaccines use a molecule called messenger RNA (or mRNA), rather than the actual pathogen to train the immune system to fight infections."
"Viral load -- the amount of SARS-CoV-2 virus found in a test sample -- is not an indicator of how contagious an individual is, though early research suggests it could play a role in disease severity and secondary transmission."

"Measuring the viral load of people infected with SARS-CoV-2 is one of the main factors in evaluating the infectiousness of COVID-19 patients."

"A new study from the University of California, Davis, Genome Center, UC San Francisco and the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub shows no significant difference in viral load between vaccinated and unvaccinated people who tested positive for the delta variant of SARS-CoV-2. It also found no significant difference between infected people with or without symptoms."

"viral loads similar to those of people who are unvaccinated, though in the vaccinated, these levels rapidly diminish."
