> County health officials said 123 people were infected with the delta variant from June 4 to 18. Ten were fully vaccinated, and none of those people needed hospital care. Three people infected with delta were partially vaccinated, and 110 were not vaccinated; two people were hospitalized.
Small sample size, but overall getting the vaccine seems to greatly reduce the severity of infection.
Good quote near the end of the article: “You just told the unvaccinated, ‘Yeah, get vaccinated, it’s so scary, but of course, you’ll still have to mask because it’s so scary,’ ” said Monica Gandhi, professor of medicine at the University of California at San Francisco. “If I were an unvaccinated person who was debating whether to get vaccinated, I would think, ‘Oh wow, there’s no point, looks like the delta variant would break through the vaccine anyway.’ ”
If you're not vaccinated, apart from being too young or physically disqualified from it, this is all on you. If you get sick, that's your fault. I'm not wearing a mask again for you.

WTF kind of insane selfishness is this? The vaccine still isn't approved for children, and you won't... wear a tiny piece of cloth or paper over your mouth for a few minutes when shopping? It's such an utterly trivial inconvenience.
I seriously cannot wrap my head around why people act like wearing a mask is such a problem. Are you equally outraged that you're asked to wear shoes and a shirt when entering a store?
