There's a reasonable expectation that being vaccinated will reduce the chance of infecting others:

Specifcally -
The argument is, if you're vaccinated, you carry relatively reduced viral load even if infected, and this translates directly to reduced infectiousness. I'm no expert, just found this on google, open to further evidence... let's hear it.Infectiousness of breakthrough infections can be measured by viral densities. Higher SARS-CoV-2 viral density in the upper airways of people infected with the virus are thought to increase transmission to household members.5, 6 If vaccines reduce viral density in those who do become infected despite vaccination, it would probably lead to lower infectiousness and less onward transmission. Hence, the authors compared the viral kinetics in breakthrough delta variant infections in vaccinated people with delta variant infections in unvaccinated people. They report that peak viral loads showed a faster decline in vaccinated compared with unvaccinated people, although peak viral loads were similar for unvaccinated and vaccinated people.
"thought to increase"
a lot is still not known about this disease. a lot of it is still guesswork.
they say wearing masks is supposed to help. if it were so, why are so many people still getting it ? or do they mean the ones getting it are the ones not wearing masks ?
Most people catch it in their homes where people don’t wear masks.
If you walk around a shopping centre observe the following:
How many people don’t wear masks including children
Those that wear masks but dont cover their nose. Sure glad I don’t breathe in or out through the nose
How many fidget with their masks with their filthy fingers
If you wear your mask, sanitise your hands before putting your hand anywhere near your face and keep socially distant and your chances are heavily minimised. Your home is where you are most likely to catch it though.
