Guess it's based on behaviour rather than virus science. Vax'd will maybe move around more, not wear masks as much, take more "risk". Also if Vax'd have less symptoms even when infected or symptoms are slower to onset then they could spread more.


All part of the fun of epidemiology. Just bubbling under the surface is a rise in deaths from possibly the biggest "killer" in history - malaria (https://www.bmj.com/content/371/bmj.m4711). On an epidemiology course I attended years ago it was estimate that half of the people through history likely to have died from malaria. The numbers have decreased regularly for the past couple of decades but are rising again now - still it doesn't really impact us in the UK so why worry? </sarcasm>
