Then, even if active virus is transferred, it has to be a susceptible host---ie: the unvaccinated
So the chances are quite low---I went through all the math on another similar thread.

Not looking to argue for the sake or being disagreeable, but I fail to follow your thinking. A vaccinated person with a Delta Variant viral load is a breakthrough case. It really has nothing to do with what we are discussing. The comment made, was that a vaccinated person has a much lower chance of catching the delta variant from a vaccinated person with the same viral load as an unvaccinated person.
To your second point, are you suggesting a vaccinated person with a positive viral load of delta variant transmits some type of immunity along with the virus to another individual? That is the only way I can see what you are saying being logical. IMO, a vaccinated person with a positive viral load of Delta Variant covid is as likely to transmit the disease to person x as an unvaccinated person with the same viral load.
Your third point I disagree with as well. The chances of a vaccinated person getting the Delta variant of the virus may or may not be lower than a non vaccinated individual (I know they say the effects are less severe. Has it been studied yet if the vaccine prevents the transmittal of the Delta Variant?). I hope you stay healthy and happy.
