And that is a claim they would definitely want to make if they thought they could get away with it.
You are completely talking out of your ass.
Bullshit. Nobody currently knows the extent to which vaccinated people with the virus shed viral particles. It's almost certainly lower, but there isn't currently good data on the subject.
Stop making things up.
With all due respect, you seem to be downplaying the effectiveness of the vaccines. No vaccine is 100%, and we need to get more people vaccinated. However, the CDC has said that if an vaccinated person attends a large event with unvaccinated people or visits an unvaccinated person or family member, it is the unvaccinated person(s) that are at greater risk than the vaccinated.
Here are the latest CDC guidelines..
I don't think it's "downplaying the effectiveness of the vaccines" to point out they're not 100% effective, because very few things are. The COVID vaccines would be incredibly unique if every single person to ever get fully vaccinated was completely and fully protected from any negative outcome of COVID-19.
That's not saying they're ineffective, that's acknowledging that they're not perfect.
