Where is the flaw of logic in these points: 1) The vaccinated are not getting it anywhere near the rates of the unvaccinated, so they are not spreading it at anywhere close to how much the unvaccinated spread it. 2) If they do spread it to another vaccinated person, that person is highly unlikely to get very sick at all. 3) If they spread it to an unvaccinated person, that person is much more likely to get sick and have a better opportunity to spread it to even more people. 4) People who get sick & end up in the hospital still have lots of time before they get to spread the virus before being hospitalized. 5) Vaccinated people who get COVID are infectious to others for significantly less time than unvaccinated people. 6) Current does not show vaccinated people causing new or more powerful strains. [0] 7) New strains are still significantly less infectious & dangerous for those who are vaccinated. So I fail to see how your points are relevant from an overall risk-reduction point of view. Available evidence points towards vaccination as a superior risk reduction mechanism than the alternative (which I guess is do nothing? If not, please clarify) that you are proposing.

1) We don't know this is true. We know that people that have been vaccinated show much less symptoms and are therefore less likely to get a test which can explain the lower positive test rate. 2) Again to point 1 3) They will most likely spread it back to said vaccinated people who are less likely to get sick 4) Back to point 3 5) Has this been proved anywhere? 6) For the time being. The delta variant only mutated 12 months after the first infection
