The research I saw shows the viral load of vaccinated people is the same if not higher.

First, vaccinated folks clear the virus faster, so the overall time of infectiousness is lower. https://globalbiodefense.com/2021/12/04/vaccinated-people-cl...

Second, fewer vaccinated people have breakthrough infections in the first place, so overall spread is lowered because of vaccinations.
