I challenge you to produce a link to where any expert said you "have to ware [sic] a mask" without providing an explanation that such was for an infectious disease reason or because the vaccines were known to not be 100% effective. Every single expert I have heard has been very careful in their wording to explain that masking is a public health benefit not saying you "have" to wear it. Rather that you "should" wear it
From the CDC's website: Do I need to wear a mask after 2 doses of vaccine?
It depends. For now, fully vaccinated people can gather indoors without physical distancing or wearing masks with: Other people who are fully vaccinated
Unvaccinated people from one other household, unless any of those people or anyone they live with has an increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19
Until more is known, fully vaccinated people should continue to wear masks and stay 6 feet apart from other people in other settings, like when they are in public or visiting with unvaccinated people from multiple households.
