I would like to see where you are getting your information that says vaccinated people are less likely to spread the virus. That’s simply not true. All the vaccine does is suppress symptoms, but you are still just as capable of spreading the virus as an unvaccinated person. On top of that, a vaccinated individual is probably more likely to spread the virus because they have little to no symptoms, and therefore unaware, whereas an unvaccinated person clearly knows they have Covid and are more likely to avoid people.
And these mandates are absolutely taking people’s freedoms. How you can say otherwise with a straight face is beyond me.
Vaccination still greatly reduces the risk of infecting others despite the arrival of the delta variant, recent studies show

“They absolutely do reduce transmission,” says
Christopher Byron Brooke at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. “Vaccinated people do transmit the virus in some cases, but the data are super crystal-clear that the risk of transmission for a vaccinated individual is much, much lower than for an unvaccinated individual.”
Fully vaccinated people are less likely to contract the coronavirus than unvaccinated people. If they don’t get an infection, they can’t transmit the virus to others.

British scientists examined how the Pfizer-BioNTech and the AstraZeneca vaccines affected the spread of the virus if a person had a breakthrough infection.

“The risk of transmission from a breakthrough infection was much higher if someone had received just one dose of either vaccine.”
It’s the highest quality study we have so far on the question of infectiousness of vaccinated people infected with delta,” said Dr. Aaron Richterman, an infectious disease physician at the University of Pennsylvania, who was not involved in the research.
Susan Butler-Wu, a clinical microbiologist at the University of Southern California, called the study “well performed,” especially because it reflects real-world transmission since it tracked spread among close contacts.”
Research on transmission prevention is ongoing. But as more people receive the vaccine, the spread of COVID-19 continues to slow.

“We do not have conclusive proof. But more and more studies and real-world evidence points to fully vaccinated people, who are not immunocompromised, are less likely to transmit the virus if they become infected,” said Brian Laird, PharmD, manager of Pharmacy Operations at
OSF HealthCare Heart of Mary Medical Center in Urbana, Illinois.
