>>> It is common knowledge by now, January 2022, that SARS-CoV-2 vaccines do not prevent transmission of SARS-CoV-2.

How can this be misinformation when vaccinated people get infected by other vaccinated people?

Because they still prevent transmission, as they have done since the start and as was known from the start. They still prevent transmission in less than 100% of cases, just like they did from the start and was was known from the start and just like they do with severe outcomes.

Claiming that they do not prevent transmission is misinformation.

Claiming that there has been some sort of change in this knowledge is misinformation.

   CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said that Covid-19 vaccines are no longer effective at preventing transmission of the virus.

   "...what they can’t do anymore is prevent transmission. So if you're going home to somebody who has not been vaccinated, somebody who can't get vaccinated...
   I would suggest you wear a mask in a public indoor setting,"
Claiming that the vaccine prevents spread is misinformation.

If this is true, then following statement is equally true, since there are cases of "breakthrough" transmission:

> Claiming that they do prevent transmission is misinformation.

If the efficacy against transmission is below 50%, then Statement 2 has more weight than statement 1, because they fail in more than 50% of cases.
