An unvaccinated person has a higher chance of carrying and transmitting the virus. That can’t be disputed.

So my original point stands.
95% effective against infection? That seems awfully optimistic. I just recently returned from a two week vacation where I was blissfully ignorant of any news especially Covid related but from what I've seen over the last few days breakthrough cases are significantly higher than 5%. Isn't Ontario about 20% breakthrough cases and it seems like the Mayo Clinic is seeing that effectiveness against Delta might be as low as 40% (https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1....06.21261707v1)
