I am assuming nothing. Studies have confirmed that vaccinated people are not contagious. They may catch covid (probably not even knowing it) and have it be detectable, but the viral load is so low that they are not contagious. This is also why they are largely asymptomatic. This exact point was mentioned in an article in the Denver Post newspaper this morning.
You are the one who is assuming that because the virus can be detected, you are contagious. This is incorrect. Studies have shown that vaccinated people who subsequently test positive for covid have such low viral loads as to be considered non-contagious. This is one of the reasons the CDC now says that vaccinated people do not need to wear masks.
