People should get vaccinated. But at this point making claims that the vaccinated don't spread covid is not supported by the science.

On the other hand, claiming that the vaccinated spread the disease 63% less even in close household situations is supported by the science.

If we made policy decisions based on a single paper, we'd all be taking HCQ and Ivermectin. And that study's confidence intervals are large. The upper bound looks like it could be in the same range for unvaccinated people.
