This is not true. Vaccinated people are less likely to get and spread Covid. I’d link you to the CDC but it’s probably redundant.

This is very unlikely to be because the USA is somehow biologically special. US statistical quality is unfortunately garbage w.r.t. vaccines, as the CDC stopped tracking data at a national level a long time ago and the states often don't report in comparable ways. The UK data is of a much higher quality as it breaks out the population in the ways needed for this type of analysis.
