But how can you objectively justify a discriminatory policy if transmission is no different between vaxxed and unvaxxed?

In the case of vaxxed workers, it referred ONLY to breakthrough infections. Two points 1. High viral loads may be characteristic of these infections & nothing to do with vax. 2. All unvaxxed workers had alpha strain, and again, lower viral loads may be characteristic of this.

1. It's not an Oxford study. It's a preprint of a Vietnamese study that hasn't been published or even peer reviewed yet. It is being reviewed for publication in The Lancet, which is a journal affiliated with Oxford.

2. It doesn't confirm that vaccinated people are super-spreaders. It's comparing breakthrough cases of the delta variant to viral loads of the early strain. It's comparing viral loads of different strains, not vaccinated versus unvaccinated people of the same strain.
