It's not our job to educate you. Search for yourself. There are literally dozens of studies from around the world that show that the vaccines reduce transmission[1]. Why should we bother to dig up research when people like you have proved that they don't want to change their mind on the issue? Why don't you provide studies that prove your conclusion?
Also, no one cares primarily about transmission. If an infection were harmless, we wouldn't mind if it spread to 100% of all humans.
The vaccine is intended to reduce illness and death, which it does dramatically.

- AndrewBissell 5y ago"but Delta is an unknown" right in the title of your link! Are you unaware that there was a sea change in thinking around transmission and the Delta variant within a week after this Nature article was published? Also, household studies do not have adequate controls as there may be a significant number of confounding variables at play. Here's a CDC study of a prison outbreak which found a 93% attack rate for unvaccinated and 89% for prisoners vaccinated more than 4 months prior: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7038e3.htm https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7038e3.htm "No one cares about transmission" until the point they want to make the case for mandates, because it collapses if one acknowledges that the vaccines are not very effective in reducing it.
