You cannot sit there and cherry pick a few snippets from a google search and understand the virology and epidemiology of this pandemic

You keep avoiding the question
You have made two assertions in this thread without providing any cites whatsoever:
HOWEVER, the percentage of those vaccinated people carrying the virus is very, very low.
THEY ARE NOT CARRYING IT AT ALL
Both these statements are totally bogus. The CDC does not agree with these statements. Again, why did CDC reverse course and tell fully vaccinated to wear masks indoors?? Just for fun?
I am not cherry picking data, the reason the data is sparse is because the CDC stoped reporting breakthough cases months ago. We only have data from some states and cities that report this correctly as well as countries like Israel.
We know that breakthrough cases are climbing everywhere it's been measured, like Los Angeles. The CDC knows this and also knows that fully vaccinated people spread the virus and a good percentage of breakthrough cases are symptomatic.
Why is CDC suppressing this data? In their own words:
Vaccine breakthrough cases may reduce public confidence in vaccines
Thats just one of a number of leaked CDC presentation slides that the Washington Post uncovered July 29.
Here are a few more CDC slide headlines:
Increasing percentage of vaccinated persons among those hospitalized in COVID-NET
Delta variant vaccine breakthrough cases may be as transmissible as unvaccinated cases.
Vaccines prevent >90% of severe disease, but may be less effective at preventing
infection or transmission – Therefore, more breakthrough and more community spread despite vaccination.
