Yes this is actually correct.
Continuing to wear a mask in public is about compliance, not safety per se: if exceptions were made for the vaccinated, people who just don't want to wear a mask would be hard to separate from those who are no longer at risk of catching or spreading the disease.
As someone who has had natural immunity (it sucked, made a full recovery) for most of the pandemic, this has been on my mind, since masking is purely cosmetic for me.
- starfallg 6y agoThis isn't stressed enough though. When dealing with such issues we also need to consider group behaviour as a whole. Every additional exception introduces costs and risks so it makes sense for a part of the population to signal compliance unnecessarily.
- Pyramus 6y agoExactly. Plus there will likely be (small) additional benefits from reduced transmission for other diseases that are spread through respiratory droplets and aerosols.
