Despite having a vaccination rate higher than 95 per cent, Harvard Business School has been forced to move its first and second year students to remote learning after a “substantial” outbreak of COVID.
“The risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection in fully vaccinated people cannot be completely eliminated as long as there is continued community transmission of the virus. Early data suggest infections in fully vaccinated persons are more commonly observed with the Delta variant than with other SARS-CoV-2 variants. However, data show fully vaccinated persons are less likely than unvaccinated persons to acquire SARS-CoV-2, and infections with the Delta variant in fully vaccinated persons are associated with less severe clinical outcomes. Infections with the Delta variant in vaccinated persons potentially have reduced transmissibility than infections in unvaccinated persons, although additional studies are needed.”
We also have this happening in highly vaccinated states like Vermont.
“Vermont is the canary in the coal mine. Currently experiencing record cases, hospitalizations, and highest vaccination rates in the U.S. We are kidding ourselves if we think this Fall and Winter will be better than last… the data is indicating otherwise.”
Associated Press: Despite having some of the highest vaccination rates in the U.S., the six New England states are still grappling with a surge of cases due to the delta variant. In some areas, hospitalizations are approaching the pandemic peak and ICUs are filling up.
I would appreciate it if you would take this information and update your post properly.
We don’t want people believing the false narrative that the current vaccines prevent transmission of delta. Social distancing and masking is obviously the best way to limit transmission. This is the global consensus among infectious disease experts and epidemiologists

From the CDC link you linked:

I’m vaccinated. It is clear the vaccines are not preventing transmission of the delta.
Frank,
Are you not aware that The CDC Director has stated that the vaccines CAN NOT prevent transmission of Delta?
“If we are to avoid another potentially deadly surge this winter, limiting transmission through vaccination is the way.”
Here is the CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensly on CNN with Wolf Blitzer stating that vaccines can not prevent Delta transmission.

I don't know the date or context of the tweet containing the clip you posted, but the CDC's Science Brief dated 9/15/21 states the following: "Together, these studies suggest that vaccinated people who become infected with Delta have potential to be less infectious than infected unvaccinated people." https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/science/science-briefs/fully-vaccinated-people.html. Moreover, a recent University of Oxford study reported here: https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/vaccinated-people-are-less-likely-spread-covid-new-research-finds-n1280583 supports that conclusion. I certainly agree that masks and social distancing are extremely important in reducing transmission but vaccines also play an important role. Vaccines can prevent transmission by preventing infection altogether.
