Twitter will ban users that repeatedly claim vaccinated people can spread Covid

Mate, you work for Google. Take some of that ambition into the office with you.
> False or misleading information regarding the safety or science behind approved or authorized COVID-19 vaccines, such as:
>> [...]
>> False or misleading claims that people who have received the vaccine can spread or shed the virus (or symptoms, or immunity) to unvaccinated people.
Now for a definite correct-me-if-I'm-wrong: I was under the impression that vaccination has no impact on transmissibility, and only protects the vaccinated individual from succumbing to the virus payload?
IF the above is true, this item in the policy is confusingly written at best, and a very unfortunate opportunity for a field day to be had at worst.
The article notes that
> This means Twitter users could now be sanctioned for sharing or discussing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) admission that “vaccinated people can still become infected and have the potential to spread the virus to others.”
In any case, here's the page as of ~nowish, with the above point intact:

"False or misleading claims that people who have received the vaccine can spread or shed the virus (or symptoms, or immunity) to unvaccinated people."
What twitter is banning are statements saying that the vaccine uses a form of the virus that you can shed to people after receiving the vaccine.
What exactly exactly is false or misleading about the above?
I got vaccinated months ago and now according to new studies Omicron can easily infect me and so I can then spread virus to others.
Bullshit, dangerous, division-promoting website.
The whole "vaccinated people shed the spike protein!!!!!" is disinformation.
"False or misleading claims that people who have received the vaccine can spread or shed the virus (or symptoms, or immunity) to unvaccinated people."
The title of this thread claims it applies to all statements that people who have received the vaccine can spread or shed the virus (or symptoms, or immunity) to unvaccinated people.
So, it is possible (and, IMO, the case) that saying, say, that vaccination is poison and that vaccinated people infect the unvaccinated will get you banned, while saying vaccinated people still can get infected (as is known from all other vaccines. None of them are 100% effective, to start with, and vaccines getting less effective over time isn’t a new thing, either (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccine#Effects)) and then shed the virus won’t.
