Being vaccinated reduces the chance of getting infected in the first place. This is true even for the delta variant (although much more so for earlier variants)

That doesn't take away from the truth of what I said - in fact it's covered at length in the very same link I posted. Sigh
Your link contained a speculation about the length of time for which vaccinated people are infectious. Mine is a study demonstrating that the chance of transmission to contacts is reduced.

Surely probability of transmission is the key factor determining whether vaccination reduces the spread of the disease?
