Quoting US CDC: "We also don’t yet know whether getting a COVID-19 
vaccine will prevent you from spreading the virus that causes COVID-19 
to other people, even if you don’t get sick yourself." Being infected 
is a prerequisite to the possibility of spreading, and we don't yet 
know whether those individuals infected post-vaccination can then 
spread the disease. Which is what David (correctly) stated.
