The science has already changed on this just last week. the CDC now recommends vaccinated wear masks indoors again because vaccinated are transmitting the disease and “have the same viral load” as non vaccinated. I try to avoid Reddit comments as a reference because they are nothing but mob consensus and even less accountable than news articles which have an obligation to correct if found wrong. Here is a Washington post article that tells us that at least with these vaccines that vaccinated are spreading the virus. Again this is completely new recent data on Delta only, which the vaccines weren’t made for, so it’s natural actually. While, vaccines do offer protection they aren’t stopping the viral load and aren’t stopping transmission of delta. https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2021/07/29/cdc-mask-gu...


Point taken. Askscience top comments do tend to be self correcting, usually a back and forth if something is off. It’s not the be all of information gathering indeed.

In any case, we aren’t done yet when it comes down to it, if the numbers are correct.
