The vaccinated people can spread the disease like you can still get herpes when you use a condom. FYI, condoms grant you a 30% reduction of infection rate for the relevant type.
We should definitely be vaccinated, and in in doing so, using the power and strengths of modern society to reap the benefits we are supposedly living in it for the purpose of creating for ourselves in the first place.
Vaccinated people can spread the virus, but the rates are much[0] less[4] because the immune system is actively controlling[1] the outbreak. Viral load correlates strongly with ones ability to transmit Sars-CoV-2[5]
This beats my herpes example like electricity beats wood gas for lighting.
Vaccinated people get and transmit the Sars-CoV-2 virus at much lower rates[3, page 10][4], and essentially never become very ill. Death is not the only effect of Sars-CoV-2, it has a variety of negative effects from the mild, to the bad, onward to the extremely taxing COVID, and critical hospitalization. This is aside from other secondary social, psychological and economic impacts.
If you rate the risk of death as fine and think we should just take a chance, everybody in the world feeling very ill for a few weeks is not nothing. Those people are air traffic controllers, doctors, mechanics, chefs, pilots, nuclear safety officers, police, etc and their normal operation matters for the operation of society.
