The actual statistics behind the vaccinated and unvaccinated?

Want to start by saying I'm double vaccinated plus booster before anyone thinks this is an anti vax thread. It absolutely isn't .

I want to know the actual statistics being vaccinated vs unvaccinated in relation to transmission ?
I'm not anti vax in anyway but I am very much pro choice and have no issue at all if people decide not to be vaccinated, as far as I'm concerned I trust the vaccines I've had will protect me if others don't feel they need/want that protection that's their choice.

Theres a very negative narrative around the unvaccinated, and I feel restrictions for the unvaccinated are very unfair. For example the need for the unvaccinated to isolate as contacts whereas the vaccinated don't need too. What's the science and statistics behind this? Surely testing daily irrelevant of vaccine status would be better advice, after all you can't spread something you haven't got?

All we hear is the vaccinated are "less likely " to catch and therefore pass on, but how much less? 5%? 10%? 80%?

Too me it just seems to be another stick to beat people into getting a vaccine they don't want

Glad you found it helpful @Geriatric1234

Apologies @Againstmachine I should have said since vaccines have been widely available I have personally treated only 2 fully vaccinated people out of dozens of unvaccinated. Hope that makes things easier for you to understand.
