I agree that there will be protests against bringing mandates back, and it will include a new group this time, those that got vaccinated, followed the science, but that will change the debate.
This new group will have to realize that they can’t just sit back and say, “I’m fine, I don’t care what others do.” They will have to realize that the non-vaccinated are affecting them, and be forced to get angry at them. That brings a new dynamic to the debate, which hopefully will result in more people getting vaccinated.

This really is a battle and any advantage out there needs to be grabbed.
Low hanging fruit - do whatever it takes to formally approve the vaccines.
Yeah, that's definitely a thing.
But also, the more you read, the more you realize the CDC statement was either 1 of two things:
1) They have zero idea what they're doing
2) Taking Orders from the WH
The study they cited for this reasoning was rejected in India based on a vaccine not approved in US.. (Miraculously, the study went from "Rejected to "Under Review" in the last few hours. . .lol).
The reason the CDC had to issue the new guidance is that unvaccinated folks think that they can fool the virus by not wearing a mask when the guidance says vaccinated people need not wear masks anymore. The CDC is likely as frustrated as everyone else. The way forward is for employers to just start making vaccine requirements for all employees. Losing a paycheck seems to be of more importance than the chance of illness or loss of life.
At least we don't live in Australia. That place is a nightmare.

Migrants told police they 'were released because they were sick with COVID-19,' police said
A Texas border town police department is warning citizens of the potential danger posed by illegal immigrants infected with COVID-19 being released by Border Patrol agents and housed in local hotels.
The La Joya, Texas, Police Department issued a public health announcement on Facebook this week and explained that concerned citizens had witnessed a family group coughing and sneezing at a local Whataburger. Police said they were told by the group they had been released by Border Patrol into a local hotel.
"The Officer approached the family and was told by them that they had been apprehended by Border Patrol days prior and were released because they were sick with COVID-19," the Facebook post read, adding that they determined the family was being housed at a local hotel by a charity group.
"Officers made contact with Hotel management who explained that Catholic Charities of The Rio Grande Valley had booked all the rooms in the hotel to house undocumented immigrants that were detained By Border Patrol," the post stated.
The post says the majority of the migrants held were not wearing masks and that border authorities are releasing migrants with coronavirus symptoms to local charities who were not notifying local police that sick people were being housed in the hotels.
Looks like there are some serious issues over the science that the CDC used to tell us to wear masks again:

I have no idea as to the veracity of the story, but you really shouldn't draw any conclusions based on coughing and sneezing. Coughing is absolutely a typical symptom of COVID. You would be correct about sneezing if we were still dealing with wild-type COVID and it's early mutations, but we're not. Sneezing is a common symptom seen with the Delta variant.
This is where I've reached as well. I've got a lot of anger towards those choosing not to get vaccinated, and I don't see it going away any time soon. I see the impact on people who are out there dealing with every day, so it's hard for me not to get angry at the people who are responsible.
