I was recently in an area with a very large outdoor crowd. The stated policy there, as I believe it is most everywhere, is that unvaccinated people should be wearing masks. I don't have an accurate count but the number of masks I saw were in the dozens with about half being worn anywhere near correctly. Either the vaccination rate in that population was about 98% or the unvaccinated were ignoring the mask policy. My guess is the latter.

*IF* masking makes any difference at all and if you want the unvaccinated to wear masks then the only way to make that happen is to force everyone to wear a mask. Otherwise, experience shows that unvaccinated will take off their masks too.

I don't like it, I don't agree with it, I don't want to have to deal with it, but it might be what the powers that be are "thinking."
There is already plenty of disdain for the un-vaxxed. If it comes down to mask mandates for everyone (never here in Florida though), there will be many more confrontations and divisiveness in our country. We are not heading in a good direction with this.
