But even if you assume that an infected person who is vaccinated is equally as likely as an infected person who is not, you have to keep in mind that the vaccines are ~90% effective at preventing infection in the first place. I think that part gets lost in the discussion a lot.

Vaccinated, last I saw, did have a similar viral load to unvaxxed with Delta.
However, the period of time a person is contagious is shorter for the vaxxed, about half if I recall correctly.
