Granted, the Delta wave really didn't effect the vaccinated
The only reason was for a vaccinated person to wear a mask in the summer of '21 was incase they were an asymptomatic case and then they could give it to a unvaccinated person. So unless they were teacher and could infect an child who couldn't get the vax, there really wasn't a good reason to wear one.
Letting the vaxxed take off their mask did give complete cover for the unvaxxed to do the same and that sucks
The CDC is very bad. I will never let people forget that they told everyone to take your mask off if you're vaccinated earlier in the year.
That basically set up the summer wave of Delta and the current wave

I can't believe they didn't realize this. You mean to tell me they really thought anti-vaxxers were going to follow the honor code?!
They realized it, they just didn't care
I got a breakthrough delta case and know several others who did as well.
The messaging on this should have always been "cover your nose and mouth as much as possible until this is over."
Why we ever got into which mask was "good enough" or whatever is nuts. More is better.
All the splitting of hairs over which groups can meet and when, too, broke trust.
"Avoid meeting in groups or crowds as much as possible, until this is over"
Shit isn't hard
