Mask mandates for vaccinated is about protecting the COVIDIOTs.

The Director of the National Institutes of Health, Dr. Francis Collins, acknowledged that new COVID-19 restrictions are primarily about protecting unvaccinated Americans as cases of the Delta variant rise nationwide.

Two months after recommending that fully vaccinated people don't need face coverings indoors, the Centers for Disease Control recommended that even fully vaccinated Americans wear masks indoors in areas with "substantial" COVID-19 spread.

Numerous have jurisdictions followed suit by going beyond the CDC's recommendations and reimposing indoor mask mandates in businesses. The new guidelines, however, have caused confusion and some frustration among Americans who are fully vaccinated.

"It's mostly about protecting the unvaccinated, that's where the real serious risks of illness are. If you're vaccinated right now, your likelihood of getting sick is 25-fold reduced. The vaccines work extremely well," Collins told CNN's Jake Tapper on Sunday morning of the new restrictions.

1. The same people who reject the vaccines also reject masks,

social distancing, and limited occupancy inside businesses. These are the people who are mixing up horse dewormer paste in their applesauce instead, or they simply don't care at all to protect themselves, their children or anyone else. My own brother is in the "simply doesn't care" category. How long to we keep altering our behavior to counteract theirs?

2. It's also about the others

Those who knew they medically wouldn't respond to the shot:
Those who got jabbed but had a poor response:
Those who got vaccinated early on and are now having waning immunity:
Those who thought catching COVID meant they were immune afterwards.

3. It's about protecting everyone

And about curtailing the spread of delta and other possible variants. It protects against bt, it protects spreading to anyone else, including children under 12 who can’t yet be vaxed and many vaxed people who are at higher risk for various reasons as well as the adults who can’t be vaxed.
