And none of those people died. Pretty good considering 24 people/year die from champagne corks!

So for the 99th time, I wish people would STOP posting that vaccinated individuals can get and spread COVID
I wish people would quit saying you can't.

This is a DIRECT quote from CDC - your source:

"Although COVID-19 vaccines are effective at keeping you from getting sick, scientists are still learning how well vaccines prevent you from spreading the virus that causes COVID-19 to others, even if you do not have symptoms. Early data show that vaccines help keep people with no symptoms from spreading COVID-19, but we are learning more as more people get vaccinated."

It is not a FACT yet, they are still learning.
