It's not either/or....it's additive. The vaccination is the biggest, best step you can take. A mask is the next best, while being much lower down. Below that still, is social distancing (physical distancing, not staying home).
All 3 is the best practice. I can't really do the last one, but I do the first 2.
Saying I did the first one and so I don't have to do the others isn't really sensical.
Anyway, I don't see any reason vaccinated people should bicker....the problem is the unvaccinated.
The science tells us there is not a statistically significant improvement to wearing a mask, once you've been vaccinated.
I'm an engineer and I tend to follow the science.
Other people latch on to hysteria but that's not really my thing.
As long as the science tells me that the difference in safety for me, and others, between being vaccinated and not wearing a mask, and being vaccinated and wearing a mask, is not statistically significant, then I'm going to go ahead and keep on saying there is NO reason for the government to mandate that vaccinated individuals like me, should wear masks.
For all the "follow the science" rhetoric I heard early-on from certain groups, they certainly seem to have abandoned that position recently. It doesn't make any sense to me, but people do weird things for weird reasons, and there you have it.
I'd agree that our problems are with the unvaccinated, except honestly, that's not my problem. It's theirs.
