If you don't understand by now that vaccines significantly reduce transmission, you just need to google "do covid vaccines reduce transmission". The top results

If you don't understand by now that vaccines significantly reduce transmission, you just need to google "do covid vaccines reduce transmission". The top results are links to the CDC, Nature, New Scientist, the New England Journal of Medicine, The Lancet, and more, all saying that vaccines significantly reduce transmission. Vaccines significantly reduce transmission, so if someone is telling you they don't, you need to re-evaluate whether you should trust that person and any information they're giving you. (P.S. SARS-CoV-2 is a virus with airborne transmission that loves nasal passages, so it's probably pretty important that your mask cover your nose. So far, there's no evidence that the virus cares at all about how much money you have in your hand.)

The Lancet you say? “Individuals who have had two vaccine doses can be just as infectious as those who have not been jabbed.” https://www.bbc.com/news/health-59077036 https://www.bbc.com/news/health-59077036 Study: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(21)00648-4/fulltext https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3...

  > Individuals who have had two vaccine doses can be just as infectious as those who have not been jabbed. You're leaving out the context: they can be just as infectious once they become infected, which is significantly less likely for those who are fully vaccinated. Vaccines significantly reduce the transmissability of the virus by making it less likely for those vaccinated to become infected, NOT by making them less infectious if they are infected.
