It will almost certainly dramatically reduce spread in a vaccinated population, symptomatic or not. That's what we really need, is to end the pandemic.
That's how other virus vaccines work, no reason to think this one is somehow magically different.

Most vaccines that protect from viral illnesses also reduce transmission of the virus that causes the disease by those who are vaccinated. While it is hoped this will be the case, the scientific community does not yet know if the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine will reduce such transmission.

"Fauci, for his part, has long said we'd still need to abide by public health measures even after getting vaccinated, just in case. "Obviously, with a 90-plus percent effective vaccine, you could feel much more confident" that you won't get COVID-19, Fauci told CNN. "But I would recommend to people to not abandon all public health measures just because you have been vaccinated….even though, for the general population, it might be 90 to 95% effective," said Fauci, "you don't necessarily know, for you, how effective it is.""
Get ready for masks and restrictions continuing for a long time thanks to this dolt.

I think he's saying that so people don't abandon social distancing measures in premature enthusiasm. Not because he really thinks the vaccine won't stop spread, he knows better. Fibbing to influence public behavior is nothing new for the good doc.

We'll have the data enough, and I'm personally assuming the vaccine will stop the spread.
