That doesn't prevent it from being misleading. Both vaccinated and unvaccinated people can get and transmit the virus in the same sense that both I and Sidney Crosby can play hockey.
That failure to acknowledge anything besides "complete prevention" v. "not complete prevention", as if to imply that vaccination is entirely useless for preventing infection and transmission, is why people - myself included - are downvoting the above comment. To assert that vaccinated people can transmit COVID without providing the necessary context re: actual probability of that happening relative to unvaccinated persons is to lie by omission.
