Simple question but complicated answer.
Any views supported by scientific studies.
Eg this is biased in my view and a media interpretation but it says yes, non v get sick more often and are contagious for longer.

Meanwhile, this credible scientific journal paper says both non v and 2 v carry the same viral load when infected (but non v more likely to be infected).
No idea how it is rationalised that non v are more likely to be infected without relying on the base rate fallacy in old data and behaviours?

Vaccination reduces the risk of delta variant infection and accelerates viral clearance. Nonetheless, fully vaccinated individuals with breakthrough infections have peak viral load similar to unvaccinated cases and can efficiently transmit infection in household settings, including to fully vaccinated contacts. Host–virus interactions early in infection may shape the entire viral trajectory.
