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).
I thought the Provincetown data from the "Bear Party Weekend" the CDC published showed that the vaccinated can still spread COVID at much higher rates than previously thought?
Although PCRs are probably way too oversensitive and aren't measuring clinical infection, but that's another topic.
Vaccinations are extremely effective at reducing severe illness. But, so is not being obese.
