Claim: An Oxford University study finds fully vaccinated healthcare workers carry 251 times viral load compared to the unvaccinated proving that COVID-19 vaccines make you worse.
Fact-check: This Oxford study does not say that fully vaccinated healthcare workers carry 251 times viral load compared to the unvaccinated - FACTLY
Verdict: the study is about the delta variant and explaining 'breakthrough cases' among vaccinated healthcare workers because of the delta variant. there is no focus on unvaccinated versus the vaccinated cases. according to the study, 'viral loads of breakthrough delta variant infection cases were 251 times higher than those of cases infected with old strains detected between march-april 2020'. according to cdc and another recent oxford university study, infected people who are doubly vaccinated carry the same amount of viral load  as the unvaccinated people. obtaining two vaccine doses remains the most effective way to ensure protection against covid-19 delta variant. hence the claim made in the post is false.
