Vaccinated or not, in reality, it still spreads. The difference is when vaccinated and wearing a mask, any shedding by the vaccinated will not lead to lethal spread to the point those who catch it end up in the ER. But if you are not vaccinated and don't wear a mask you are at far higher risk of ending up in the ER or death.
It is possible to carry COVID even after vaccination. It is also possible to shed COVID even after being vaccinated. Vaccinations are not utopias. BUT THEY ARE greater insurance that having such, you wont end up in the ER under threat of death, and even if you carry and shed, you wont be spreading a deadly variant.
I love the sane who are vaccinated. But being vaccinated myself, I still wear a mask. Not because I am afraid of my own health. But because we are still in a pandemic, and I don't want a variant to have a platform to spread.
