The vaccine is not masking the symptoms, it is eliminating them. The whole purpose of the vaccine is to keep people from dying and it is doing the job. The sole reason that this disease is spreading like wildfire is because people refuse to get vaccinated. If 80-90 pct were vaccinated life would be back to normal. As it stands at the moment the vaccinated can and should go about their daily lives. The unvaccinated should either stay home or risk infection and possibly a truly horrible death.
