The Lancet you say?
“Individuals who have had two vaccine doses can be just as infectious as those who have not been jabbed.”

You're leaving out the context: they can be just as infectious once they become infected, which is significantly less likely for those who are fully vaccinated.
Vaccines significantly reduce the transmissability of the virus by making it less likely for those vaccinated to become infected, NOT by making them less infectious if they are infected.

None of these sources are trusted by the people who don't want the vaccine.
Vaccines significantly reduce transmission, so if someone is telling you they don't, you need to re-evaluate whether you should trust that person and any information they're giving you.
(P.S. SARS-CoV-2 is a virus with airborne transmission that loves nasal passages, so it's probably pretty important that your mask cover your nose. So far, there's no evidence that the virus cares at all about how much money you have in your hand.)
