The CDC has been horrible on this topic. They’ve been incredibly reluctant to say that vaccinated people can act any differently than non-vaccinated people...

Because in the USA all the anti-vaxxers will just produce fake vaccination cards. If the CDC comes out and says those who have been vaccinated don't need masks, suddenly everyone will be "vaccinated".

    They might be talking about actual forged cards heh. In my country, people started doing them, fake stamps and all, so they switched to checking QR codes that link to approved labs' websites. Ridiculous, but at 40 Euros per test that you need every time, probably profitable.

    Yes, it's the same as a lot of completely untrained "service" dogs

  That's a valid concern all over the world I would think. If some people start walking around normally and people question them and they just respond "I'm vaccinated!", that'll spread like a wildfire.

  Every time our government agencies have tried to manipulate the public by being economical with the truth instead of just being honest and open about the balancing consideration all they’ve done is burned massive amounts of credibility with the public and given rise to conspiracy theories. How am I supposed to counter these conspiracy theories when government officials are concededly out there telling “noble” lies?

    Very hard agree. People still haven't gotten over the CDC not recommending masks because they didn't want to create a shortage for the medical community. The CDC is not some PR firm, communicate what the science is saying and let someone else worry about supply-chain issues.

What are you talking about? Direct quotes from TFA, guidance for vaccinated people: YOU CAN: - "Visit inside a home or private setting without a mask with other fully vaccinated people of any age" - "Visit inside a home or private setting without a mask with one household of unvaccinated people who are not at risk for severe illness" - "Travel domestically without a pre- or post-travel test" - "Travel domestically without quarantining after travel" - "Travel internationally without a pre-travel test depending on destination" - "Travel internationally without quarantining after travel"
