Current vaccine is less than 50% effective against Delta variant (40% down to 30% as immunity wanes over 3-4 months) and so vaccinated can spread it arguably just as effectively as unvaccinated; based on Israel's leading data.

Yet 90%+ of people in ICU/dying of covid are unvaccinated.

50% effective when it comes to not catching covid (haven't checked this stat myself), 99% effectiveness when it comes to not needing intensive care/not dying

Antibodies go down over time, but the body can make more faster when needed.
