Ok, that one says that IF a breakthrough case becomes symptomatic, THEN viral shedding is comparable to non-vaccinated shedding.
It also says that non-symptomatic breakthrough cases have significantly lower levels of viral shedding.
It doesn't say anything about how long they were shedding, nor does it say anything about the likelihood of vaccinated individuals developing a symptomatic infection.
Plenty of other data indicates that vaccinated individuals are at much lower risk of developing symptomatic disease in the first place. Here's one from the UK, for the anti-CDC crowd. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.05.24.21257738v2
So, yes, unfortunately the vaccines against COVID are not sterilizing, or are only sterilizing for a few months. But they still reduce the risk of developing symptomatic disease. And non-symptomatic disease has significantly less shedding.
