Mask Hysteria

When some countries insist that their citizens continue to don a mask in public squares even if they have been fully vaccinated just in case they might still get infected or reinfected or infect others, although the chances of that happening are pretty low—their non-scientific decisions are often based on intuition or overcaution or irrational fear.
With vaccination in full swing in many developed countries, and with declining infection and mortality rates, isn’t it mere mask hysteria that authorities mandate that inoculated folks continue to wear masks both indoor and outdoor for the sake of those who refuse or have yet to be jabbed?
