Significant error (or misdirection) in this statement...

True: If a vaccinated and an un-vaccinated person both actually got covid, then they both might be able to spread it.

But the vaccinated person is much less likely to actually get covid in then first place, so they are statistically less likely to bring it to work and spread it to others. 20 times less likely based on the known vaccine efficacy (which may be reduced a little bit for the delta variant).
