The claim

A study published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases shows that vaccinated people are as likely to transmit Covid-19 as non-vaccinated people

Original publisher’s rating

Mostly false. The claim contained an element of truth – vaccinated and unvaccinated people in the study did show a similar viral load at their peak - but unvaccinated people spend more time at that peak than the vaccinated, making them potentially infectious for a longer amount of time.
