At the end of the day, you’re vaccinated so if you feel so damn safe, then your apparent risk is small from either unvaccinated or vaccinated persons because being either, does not stop you catching Covid. Stop going on about stupid percentages and misinformation, it is a correct fact that being vaccinated does not stop transmission, there is no sugar coating it with irrelevant and fabricated data.
But it's not black and white.

You're right that vaccines don't stop transmission. However, there is a lot of evidence they reduce transmission. It's lower for the Delta variant but the studies on it did show a reduction. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/l...690-3/fulltext

If vaccines reduce viral density in those who do become infected despite vaccination, it would probably lead to lower infectiousness and less onward transmission. Hence, the authors compared the viral kinetics in breakthrough delta variant infections in vaccinated people with delta variant infections in unvaccinated people. They report that peak viral loads showed a faster decline in vaccinated compared with unvaccinated people, although peak viral loads were similar for unvaccinated and vaccinated people.
As far as I am aware there is no scientific evidence it stops transmission, we can see that in numbers already, but even amongst sceptics it's accepted it reduces it. There is just an argument on how much it does.

After all if it didn't reduce transmission then the numbers never would have gone down.
