The reasons to wait for the vaccine are very different (and legitimate) than the reasons not to wear masks. The vaccines seem to be causing serious side effects. People are going into anaphylaxis (at higher rates than usual) with the vaccines. Bell's palsy, 105 degree fevers... This isn't like the annual flu shot, or getting vaccinated for measles, where you get the shot and that's it. Holding off on vaccinations for SARS-COV-2 is not at all the same as the stupidity of not wearing a mask.

    First link: ...the rate of Bell’s palsy in the clinical trials is lower than the overall rate in the general population... Second: FDA scientists have said that the documented cases of Bell’s palsy are “consistent with the expected background rate in the general population”... Third: The adverse effects of the vaccine—even if, at worst, they all happen at once—are transient and a normal sign of reactogenicity signaling an effective immune response. But I worry that they could be a major barrier to vaccine uptake. Reading is fundamental.
