There's zero data to support mask wearing has any influence on COVID at all.
Effectiveness of Face Masks in Preventing Airborne Transmission of SARS-CoV-2
The vast majority of people who die from COVID-19 complications do so in a hospital, on a ventilator, with a team of doctors and medical staff around them, and from no other primary cause.

Clearly from February last year.
Things change in over a year, ya know.
The US Surgeon General said masks are NOT effective in preventing the general public from catching China Virus.
So what changed?
The size of the virus...or the size of the mask fiber net?
But masks can reduce the velocity of air flow, and so can prevent people from transmitting the virus to others.

Ok so the CDC just reversed it’s recommendation
For masks indoors. They are now recommending that people who have been vaccinated still have to wear a mask now.
My question is simple:
What data is there that supports this recommendation?
The only answer that the White House press secretary gave today was “ It’s an extra layer of support and you can still
Transmit the virus”
What the? That’s not an answer. Does the vaccine work? Every study I have seen says it’s 95% effective. I like SCIENCE AND DATA.
I was promised by President Biden that if I got the vaccine then everything would go back to normal. Now I am immunized and I have to wear a mask now?
On the other hand, mass vaccination promotes natural selection of increasingly vaccine immunity (VI)-escaping variants in the vaccinated part of the population. Taken together, mass vaccination conducted on a background of high infectivity rates enables more infectious, increasingly VI-escaping variants to expand in prevalence. This evolution inevitably results in inclining morbidity rates in both, the non-vaccinated and vaccinated population and precipitates the emergence of circulating viral variants that will eventually fully resist vaccine-mediated immunity (VMI).
A Last Word of Caution...

You keep digging yourself in deeper and deeper. What is it? I doesn't spread that fast, or does it spread fast enough that we can't keep ahead of it?

The CDC now says vaccinated people should seek out a COVID-19 test three to five days after being exposed to a person who may have contracted the virus.
In addition, any vaccinated person who has been exposed should wear a mask in indoor public settings for two weeks or until they receive a negative COVID-19 test result.
The CDC says anyone experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, regardless of vaccination status, should isolate themselves and seek out a test.
...
CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said that recent studies have shown that vaccinated people are able to spread the delta variant — the most contagious strain of the virus yet.
“In recent days, I have seen new scientific data from recent outbreak investigations showing that the delta variant behaves uniquely differently from past strains of the virus that cause COVID-19,” Walensky said. “Information on the delta variant from several states and countries indicates that in rare occasions, some vaccinated people infected with the delta variant after vaccination may be contagious and spread the virus to others. This new science is worrisome and unfortunately warrants an update to our recommendations.”
Fully Vaccinated People Should Seek Out a COVID Test

If idiots congregate in large crowds, waving signs, and none of them taking any precautions, then of course those precautions aren't going to work in that case - this is the way stupidity works!

So the folks in photo were recently killed by covid?
Love to see your source.
But we all know you just make things up to support democrat narrative.
Exactly like CCP.
