Well, as I said. But fortunately I live in the state with the second highest vaccination rate and and thus far relatively low case number. Were I living in a state with high case numbers and a prohibition of mask mandates in schools I would be both worried sick about my 9-year old godson, and livid, and so would be his parents.
I looked today, and rates of full vaccination of the population were 66 % and 60 % respectively, for Ireland and Israel. Learn your facts.
Here is a nice illustration for you what happens in the US states with the lowest and highest vaccination rates in terms of hospitalizations:
This chart shows the number of unvaccinated people and COVID-19 hospitalizations in the best & worst vaccinated U.S. states (as of Aug 9, 2021).

The graph speaks for itself.
"The vaccines DO
NOT prevent the spread of a virus, learn your facts you
conformist berk informed citizen!"
Here, fixed it for ya.
BTW, I am not just a generally informed citizen, but more specifically also a scientist, a biochemist. For me getting the shot was an absolute no-brainer. Having followed the development and testing of the vaccines closely, and having understood the science, I did not have a single moment of vaccine hesitancy and could not get my shot fast enough, as soon as I was eligible.
For prevention of spread by vaccines, see the link in my last post.
