Vaccinated people are still breeding grounds for a virus; they can still be carriers. Vaccines just give people the antibodies to not be affected by a virus.

But they are vastly less likely to shed if they have been vaccinated, therefore less transmission.

That article gave no numbers. It made a claim and didn't back it up.

There's links in the article to Scientific American which also had papers from October 2020.

Cool. Where does that dispute the fact that those who are vaccinated are still breeding grounds for new variants of the virus?

If they shed less then they are less transmissible, it's in the article. It isn't about completely erradicating tranmission but bringing it to a level where the problem receeds. It's statistics, not a binary thing.
