I encourage everyone eligible to get vaccinated to protect themselves against severe symptoms, but that does little to protect vulnerable people. Vaccinated people also transmit the virus. Since the virus is endemic and can't be eradicated, everyone will be exposed multiple times throughout their lives.

But apparently vaccinated people only transmit the virus if it’s a breakthrough case. If that’s the case then the transmission is reduced in more vaccinated populations compared to unvaccinated.

Please stop repeating misinformation. Vaccination has only a temporary and limited effect on reducing transmission.

It interesting that some people even when faced with such an articulate and easy to read article still resist understanding it so that their beliefs are not challenged.
