If that person had the ability to get vaccinated and chose not to, then at that point... idk man. I feel differently about this when everybody now has the ability to easily, freely protect themselves if they choose to. If they have that, then dont restrict my life.

We can't. But if every person has the ability to get vaccinated and chooses not to, then imo at this point it's a risk they as an adult human are choosing to take, they're no longer threatening others (who can get vaccinated if they want), and I have no business controlling that.

The vaccines only reduce severity of illness and probability of fatality. As can be seen in data from Israel, it takes 65%-70% population coverage, to make a dent in transmission. Until that point of coverage is reached, masks will still help with source control.

A rarely-fatal, less-transmissible covid is way more equivalent to other illnesses that we've collectively judged worth the risk of unmasked gatherings

do you know how many lives could be saved if we lowered highway speed limits by 10mph? It's only a minor inconvenience.

You seem to suggest that life is bad if you wear a mask. I honestly find it a small nuisance. Also, I already experienced a retail attendant (at a place it's "required" but not enforced) asking a person who claimed to be vaccinated, who then refused.
