The issue is that now there's no way to tell whether the unmasked person next to you is vaccinated and safe or unvaccinated and dangerous.

There is no statement from any Federal official that says anything like this.

Meanwhile in more sane countries citizens choose wether to wear masks and not. We locked down early and often, so almost none died.

Anyways, studies show distance to be more preventative.

Your measure of sanity is the inverse of my measure of freedom, and the same as my measure of government authoritarianism.
