Again, this is misleading. The only reason mandators changed their messaging is that the facts on the ground have changed - before omicron, the vaccines were effective at preventing transmission. Omicron changed all that.
Absolutely false.
As early as July 29, long before Omicron was a thing, the CDC said;
Vaccinated individuals infected with delta may be able to transmit the virus as easily as those who are unvaccinated.
and
Vaccinated people infected with delta have measurable viral loads similar to those who are unvaccinated and infected with the variant.
This is what led to the reversal of mask recommendations, telling people that were fully vaccinated they should mask up again.
You've also claimed that masks are still "somewhat" effective at stopping transmission throughout this thread, but this too flies in the face of the statement from the Director of the CDC earlier this month. Specifically, Dr. Walensky said;
"...what they can’t do anymore is prevent transmission. So if you're going home to somebody who has not been vaccinated, somebody who can't get vaccinated... I would suggest you wear a mask in a public indoor setting."
While it is absolutely true that science evolves and recommendations should change based on data, that is not at all what has happened throughout this pandemic.
