The vaccine trains your immune system to generate antibodies that target the virus
When you get infected, those antibodies attack right away to keep the virus population low
With low viral load you literally have fewer viruses to spread to other people
If you’re not vaccinated (or not boosted for the correct variant) then the virus population blooms much more quickly and you get a higher viral load, meaning your coughs and sneezes are quite literally more contagious.
I think I probably agree with you about the efficacy of the vaccine, but this is a terrible reply to someone who actually provided you some kind of argument.
I started to read that article but it was a lot of charged language, and then when it got to the point about transmission it made the typical argument that they weren’t tested to see if they stopped transmission (the primary goal of the vaccination was to decrease hospitalization and death, so they didn’t test for this). I then realized how long the article was and lost interest. Can you quote the part of the article where they actually make the claim that it did not lower transmission?
Here’s a link to an actual study that claims it reduced transmission.
They sure as hell do. Show your sources or GTFO.

Show yours, I’m not the one spreading bullshit to make myself feel better about a fucking security blanket. https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/science/articles/vaccines-never-prevented-transmission-covid-alex-gutentag

No, I’m really not.
