Wow that makes no sense at all! You can still transmit and get seriously sick even if you're vaccinated. These vaccines will not give herd immunity apparently. So why stop free testing? I still do lateral flow tests especially before seeing others even though I'm fully vaccinated. Surely that's supporting getting back to normal life and the responsible thing to do.
