What on Earth is up with the "even after being vaccinated, you can't change your behavior" thing? Insane, yes, much of society is insane, but this insanity has some root that I don't understand. It's not the equilibrium of anything obvious-to-me.
So far, something like 1 rings truest to me, maybe with side doses of 2 & 3. People are performing virtuous compliance and there's no controlling legal authority, not even science or a vaccine, that can say it's okay to dial the performance down?

Requiring public mask-wearing for everyone, because you don't want to check vaccine certifications each time - that would make sense, sure. But in this case you would then add, "That said, go ahead and visit and hug your also-vaccinated friends in private."
If you're worried about people coming to wrong conclusions, maybe also worry about sending the wrong message that the vaccine doesn't do anything, or that getting it doesn't help, or that the shots in the arms are just meaningless performances like so much else in society?
Example study showing 90% effectiveness at stopping laboratory-detectable infection (not just symptomatic infection), but with some sampling bias. If half right at 80%, we'd still see 25-fold risk reduction for transmission between 2 vaccine recipients. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
(before even taking account that the vaccine is 99% effective at preventing severe illness, and reduced symptoms and viral counts will correspond to an even further reduction in contagiousness.)
