Wearing a mask when you are symptomatic is not an apt comparison.
I have always wished people with colds or whatever would wear masks.
Unfortunately a large number of COVID cases are asymptomatic. People carrying the virus wouldn’t wear a mask if they don’t think they’re sick. Unless there’s a mask mandate, because as you pointed out, masks work.

too much time on their hands and not enough serious things to do with it
Thank you. I have reached this conclusion many times, even in the old times before COVID, but I keep coming back to the endorphin rush that is these pointless arguments.

Punaweb is also cheaper than a Ben & Jerry's sugar rush, and much less fattening.

Vaccination protects people against coronavirus infection much better than previous infection does
Vaccination protects people against coronavirus infection much better than previous infection does, a team of researchers led by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Friday.
They said their findings should help settle debates over whether people who have been infected should bother getting vaccinated. They should, the researchers said.
People who had not been vaccinated and who ended up in the hospital were five times more likely to have Covid-19 than people who had been vaccinated within the past three to six months, they found.
"All eligible persons should be vaccinated against COVID-19 as soon as possible, including unvaccinated persons previously infected with SARS-CoV-2," the researchers wrote in the CDC's weekly report, the MMWR.
"We now have additional evidence that reaffirms the importance of COVID-19 vaccines, even if you have had prior infection," CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said in a statement..

I think in your rush to dis vaccines this little tidbit was overlooked..
"vaccines remain highly effective at preventing severe disease and deaths from COVID-19.."
Which is the main point, isn't it?

Chas in case you're unaware, the main point of this thread is in the title - "Vaccinated People Spread The Delta Variant, CDC Says"
Which is now further proven by the following study - Vaccinated just as likely to spread delta variant within household as unvaccinated:
