No. It's still significantly less likely that a vaccinated individual catches it in the first place, thus dramatically slowing community spread.

Seems like that is also up for debate. In this CDC study[1], 74% of cases were in the vaccinated. Probably around 69% of the population were vaccinated, meaning the fact that more than 69% of the cases were in the vaccinated suggests that the vaccinated were even more susceptible than the unvaccinated. I'm sure there are plenty of considerations with this study, but it certainly isn't glaringly obvious that vaccination reduces susceptibility.

Thank you. The majority in this thread seem to assume a higher net effect in preventing the spread through vaccination than is really the case.

Are you trying to make the claim that the vaccine makes you more susceptible to catching Covid than being unvaccinated?
