Why? Honestly, I don't understand this line of thinking at all for the fully vaccinated. The CDC said vaccinated people don't spread the virus [1]. They also said vaccinated people can gather without masks.[2] In RARE instances the South African variant escapes the Pfizer vaccine, but the vast majority of people vaccinated won't get sick from it.[3] Sure, be careful, but that doesn't mean we need to live in irrational fear.
