CNBC Report on Delta Variant Potential Spread Among the Vaccinated

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/09/delta-covid-strain-dominant-in-ustips-for-vaccinated-people.html?fbclid=IwAR2OYPq0hsjuDjmj6Ho-7nkrQqTpEcuS5vR5MAhfH9BMIMyu_lAng_8zHHo

Highlights:

"It’s feasible that a fully vaccinated person can be an asymptomatic carrier of Covid, and potentially transmit the virus, including the more contagious delta variant, Dr. Anthony Fauci said during an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” July 4."

"It could be that there are many more breakthrough cases than are being accounted for, because they tend to be asymptomatic and CDC guidance says vaccinated people don’t have to get tested after exposure."

"It’s important to note, however, that vaccinated people who get infected have significantly less viral load in their nasopharynx, Fauci said." -> read as "vaccinated people have a lower likelihood of transmitting than unvaccinated"... but then read the first quote from the article again before you say "no spread, no issue".
