Sorry gotta go against Fauci on this one, just as I did in March 2020 on masks. If you don't want to be a breakthrough infection and pass on the virus (vaxxed still have ~20% the chance of unvaxxed with Delta) and you're highly exposed, then wear a mask. Simple, cheap, convenient

👏LA's Ferrer "We have enough risk and enough unvaccinated people for Delta to pose a threat to our recovery. And masking up now could help prevent a resurgence in transmission. This is a precautionary recommendation, given that we don’t have all the information we wish we had.”
Ferrer said there’s “increasing evidence that a very small number of fully vaccinated individuals can become infected with the Delta variant and may be able to infect others.”
CA HHS: “The data is clear: Nearly all new COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths are preventable. The vaccines work and they protect us."
Right now... the Delta wave only began last week. It has a long way to go, and remember hospitalizations lag cases by 2 weeks

"The state Department of Public Health said there are “enough people vaccinated against COVID-19 that the system is not at risk of being overwhelmed if cases increase.”"
The goal should be to reduce disease as much as possible, not just to the point of meeting hospital capacity

Good news; Dr. Fauci has clarified that, although he's fully vaccinated, he might wear a mask in places with low vax rates.
