You are assuming that those who generate a positive test are "infected with Covid," I do not. I assume the tests have been tweaked to be extremely sensitive and are picking up "infections" where there are none.

In a world where there is no protection from the disease and people are contagious before they are symptomatic then you want to find infections before they occur. You want to err on the side of caution and quarantine people who have even a remote chance of becoming contagious rather than taking the risk that they might infect someone else. You make the test as sensitive as possible, test everyone, and then react with an abundance of caution.

The CDC has not said that if all vaccinated people were tested weekly only 0.007% of them would test positive. The CDC has reported that out of 150,000,000+ vaccinated people, only 5,500 have been hospitalized or died.
