Vaccines wont give you imminity for spreading virus. Inform yourself, please.
Even the vaccinated spread the virus - so what's the point of your statement ?
Getting vaccinated doesn't stop you from spreading the virus to other people. If it did, your point would have far greater validity.
Because it will take days for you to notice that you have it and you will continue to spread it. Even if you do not die from it, others that caught it from you might. If you are vaccinated it might be that you do not spread it anymore. It seems that there is no data yet for the current corona vaccines, but other vaccines prevent spreading so the new ones might as well.
Getting vaccinated doesn't prevent you from spreading covid.
Vaccine doesn't prevent spreading.
These vaccines do not prevent spread! They decrease the probability of symptoms, and with any coronavirus, the main vector of spread is going to be through symptoms (coughing, sneezing, etc.). This means that if you are vaccinated, you will be less likely to spread the virus, but you must still wear a mask in order to protect those around you!
The problem is that vaccination protects you from having a bad case of Covid, but it doesn't protect you from getting infected and infecting others. So, if the vaccinated carry on as if it's 2019, the disease will jump from one vaccinated person to the next until it finds an unvaccinated person.
the scenario you described is for vaccines that prevent infection. This is now obviously not the case with covid and 75% of the pop vaccinated, which still catch and transmit the disease enough to get the numbers we have now.
Vaccinated individuals can also carry it. It does not stop spread or contraction. These Vaccines are just supposed to reduce the extreme Symptoms
