I& #39;m glad I& #39;m not the only one who thinks the CDC& #39;s guidance on this is confusing and awful. To a lot of people, the message will be, "The vaccine only gains you two extremely limited situations where you don& #39;t need a mask, so why bother?" https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2021/04/cdc-outdoor-mask-pandemic/618739/">https://www.theatlantic.com/health/ar...

"When can I go see a movie or go to a restaurant without a mask? Once the USA reaches herd immunity? When will that happen? What& #39;s the danger level for a vaccinated person in a movie theater or restaurant? Or a non-crowded shopping mall?"

"Just wear a mask all the time just to be safe" is like a Christian schools teaching kids, "The only safe sex is abstinence, so there& #39;s no reason to talk about it any further." Since most humans won& #39;t abide by the strict rule, you& #39;re just leaving them to figure it out themselves.

There is nothing whatsoever wrong with admitting that most people hate masks, just as there& #39;s nothing wrong with admitting that most men hate condoms. Insulting or belittling them for hating the thing only makes it seem like you& #39;re out of touch and thus not worth listening to.
