The main problem with this is that half of the infections are asymptomatic. So in the places where immune compromised people go (which is quite a chunk of people about 1 in 50) become really unsafe as they are only getting the benefit of one way masking and people are assaulting those wearing masks. They are being denied access to hospitals and dentists for example as staff refuse to protect them. This has caused an enormous amount of people to be excluded from many public spaces. They are suffering all the consequences of these decisions and being forced into their homes and away from medical care among many other services because people refuse to help.
Covid is going to be an all year around infection that hasn't at any point dropped below 1 in 80 people carrying it, we need to use HEPA filters and UV light to clean the air indoors and adopt masking as a mitigation until we have better vaccines or treatments especially for Long Covid.

I've heard it said that current COVID-19 vaccines are counterproductive, because they only reduce symptoms as opposed to increasing one's chances of catching the disease, or reducing one's infectivity. Someone who has been vaccinated and infected is more likely to go to work or school and thus more likely to spread the disease.
