Recent data is pretty clear that the vaccines, while certainly very effective at reducing severity, don't affect transmissibility. Which is logical since transmission occurs before antibody response can be brought to bear. Masks are barely helpful, preventing 1 or 2 transmissions out of a hundred. Makes a difference in large numbers, so if everyone wore one everywhere, some thousands of transmissions would fail to occur, and thus some lives would be spared. Mask wearing is mostly ineffective on an individual level, but at least you can see the benefit to society at large. It's small, and should be weighed against downsides with schoolchildren for instance, but as a minor inconvenience for adults I'm all for it.
