9. The CDC recommendation is very well supported by science.

If new data in future, perhaps resulting from a new, more vax-resistant variant that does not yet exist, changed that, they would change the recommendation.

I'll be wearing my mask only sometimes indoors here in GA -- where we do not meet national averages -- because 94% efficacy is not completely reassuring considering my 80-year-old husband.

I already wear a big button that says I'm fully vaccinated, though. Both to reassure those who'd want to know and so I'm not mistaken for a depraved pod person.
