From what I understand, this "vaccine" works very differently than all other vaccines. Some doctors say that it's technically not a vaccine.
While vaccines give you immunity from contracting the virus, this one prevents the virus from using your body to replicate itself. If the virus can't replicate, it can't make you sick.
But it sounds to me, and I am not a doctor or scientist, that you may still contract the virus but it can't hurt you. So if you are carrying the virus, you can possibly transmit it to others. It seems to me that once everyone that wants to be vaccinated is, then we can stop wearing masks.
If there is a doctor or scientist on this forum that can explain this better or contradict what I'm saying, please do so.
