There are three possible outcomes from getting the shot:
1) More likely to transmit
2) Equally likely to transmit
3) Less likely to transmit

Even if they haven't settled on numbers yet, part of the reason is because they don't want to cite a number when the variance is still large.

With #3 clearly being the answer, regardless of numeric precision, it is the best option for reducing community transmission. If everyone had been able to get the shot a year ago, fewer people would have gotten sick, meaning fewer bodies would have hosted the petri dishes from which the Delta variant evolved, which would further reduce community transmission, and then we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Can you cite one reputable source that says not getting the vaccine provides a better overall outcome for humanity?
