Corollary question: is the blunting of risk of transmission sufficiently great post-vaccination (for US vaccines) that the question is essentially completely individualized? I have thoughts, and there is a bunch of data already, but we/the CDC should explicitly address that part.

(Car crashes also affect others but car crashes do not have transmission chains. Do the vaccinated initiate transmission chains to the degree we need to think about it? Is it so blunted that this is no longer a big enough risk?That should be the explicit CDC discussion).

The CDC guidelines have implicit assumptions about the answer to the question of post-vaccination transmission and they are actually fairly strong, but not been explicit enough to the public. The CDC making it explicit would help. Give people intuition/mechanisms, not just rules.

No one has made clear why a CHOICE to still wear a mask for some months after vaccination is doing harm...can still do activities but if on the subway or on a crowded street or in a store I may wear a mask for some time. It's low cost. No one is harmed Don't shame either side.

here's a dirty secret for healthy folks under 65 the death rate has always been extremely low. P.S. fully support folks getting vaccinated but the logical disconnect has been apparent since day one.

my brother is athletic and in his 20s and hasn't had a sense of smell for months. turns out the death rate isnt the only risk here

As R0 approaches zero, though, they become the same

I wonder if Nate has considered that a main reason a lot of us continue to wear them is largely as a signal to other people--many of whom are NOT vaccinated--that it's ok to not let your guard down, rather than out of ay sort of irrational fear.

I think that might be part of the problem though: people are sick of doing things for reasons like “sending signals” and want to do what makes sense practically.
