Other studies have also shown that vaccinated people who have contracted the virus, shed as much virus as non-vaccinated people. It really doesn't matter if you are unvaccinated or vaccinated, the virus will be spread the same ways - people coughing, talking, close contact, etc. In other words, the rate of transmission will be the same if you have the virus and are vaccinated or unvaccinated, but the number of transmissions will be reduced because the vaccinated are less likely to have it.
I failed to grasp it?

What I highlighted from your post is exactly what I said. And of course the method of transmission is the same.

So, "the literature" does not state differently. And again, "vaccinated people who have contracted the virus.....", not the same as all vaccinated people.

Therefore , I am at a loss to understand your reasoning. You disputed that vaccinated people spread to virus at a far lower level, then later, in the same post, agree. I'd also be interested in what sources you consider "the literature"????
