Then what’s the point of the vaccine?

If nothing else to keep you from getting it...

But that's NOT what they are saying. They keep moving the goalposts.

That’s far different than a definitive “ you can”.
What it not known is IF. Repeat IF you are already infected at the time of vaccination. You could still pass it even if if you don’t get sick or have symptoms
But The since the vaccine being given prevent you from being infected in the first place so you would have nothing to pass on .
The article quoted is at worst incorrect and maybe at best misleading .

Yes if you are already infected but have no symptoms at time of infection you certainly can pass it on .

The purpose of the vaccine is to help your body kill the virus. It does NOT STOP you from getting the virus. It does NOT STOP you from spreading virus you picked up and are breathing out.
You will not have symptoms from 1 virus particle; or 10; or maybe even 1000. You are probably not a danger to others if you have 1 virus particle; or 10; or maybe even 1000.
The virus multiplies in your body, and when enough (number unknown) have been produced you become infectious (as in able to exhale virus in sufficient numbers to raise the probability that someone near you will inhale enough to themselves become an incubator). With the help of a vaccine your body will deactivate the virus, hopefully faster than it can replicate. It is a race against time. Hopefully your virus titer will decrease before it produces severe symptoms or permanent damage.

Are the risks of taking the vaccine worth the rewards

Not true. It is not known for sure at this time . RNA developed vaccines work differently than previous vaccines .
It sounds like many are actively look for an excuse - any excuse - not to take the vaccine.
Just like many find any excuse not to mask up.

We know the expected rewards.
What are the risks that you fear? Explain them with science. Provide evidence of the detrimental side effects of the vaccine.
