- Vaccinated individuals for Covid can still get sick with the virus, have a viral load, be vessels for a mutating virus, and spread the virus: https://www.ucdavis.edu/health/covid-19/...ted-people

While this might very well be true. It is important to remember that if everyone was vaccinated the R would be way under 1 and virus circulation would exponentially slow down. So in the end there would be much less chances for mutations to happen overall.
Could you provide a source for this? If the viral load is equal between the vaccinated and unvaccinated, then it means mutation possibilities are equal. The only difference I see would be that unvaccinated would be more likely to know when they have potential for spreading the virus due to symptoms while the unvaccinated would be more likely to spread the virus due to lack of knowledge of having the virus.
