As an interesting aside to this, the recent study into vaccine (Pfizer) effectiveness out of Qatar showed a significantly negative effectiveness for asymptomatic covid.
Ie, they found a higher proportion of vaccinated individuals got asymptomatic covid compared with the unvaccinated population.
The actual impact of this is unclear, because the risk of transmission with asymptomatic covid hasn't really ever been quantified properly.

The Qatar study (now peer reviewed and published in the NEJM) said nothing of the sort.
If you're referring to table 4 look at the sample size, 25 v 29 out of 26,000. Huge CIs. (−181.8 to 36.9)
Means the data is so noisy its impossible to make any claim off it.
