Surely the risk is the same.  The current Chch cases are such an example - 2 people who have been double jabbed first testing negative then testing positive days later but in meantime wandering around and spreading it.
You're much less likely to catch and spread the virus if you're vaccinated.
If you're unvaccinated, you're about 20 times more likely to spread it.
If you look at the stats from this outbreak, the vast majority of cases were unvaccinated. So the majority of this outbreak is being driven by the unvaccinated. Obviously that's not necessarily their fault, as many of the cases would have occured before people had a chance to get vaxxed. But we're well past that now.
It can also depend on how long a case has been vaccinated for. It takes about 14 takes to reach full immunity after the second jab.
