CDC's mixed messages

They're justifying their new guidelines based on "a recognition that an estimated 95% of Americans 16 and older have acquired some level of immunity, either from being vaccinated or infected." Immunity means "the state of being immune from or insusceptible to a particular disease."And yet these NM statistics (2nd chart), which I'm guessing are pretty consistent around the US, show that between July 11 and Aug 8, 2022 43.1% of new cases, 32.6% of hospitalizations and 48.5% of deaths were among those fully vaccinated with booster. Does that sound like immunity to you?

The CDC guidelines still advise that "masks continue to be recommended only in areas where community transmission is deemed high, or if a person is considered at high risk of severe illness." So where in the US are the areas of high community transmission? Fortunately they provide that data here, which is 93.6% of counties. Does that sound like it's safe to go without masks or social distancing indoors pretty much anywhere right now?

Something isn't adding up with these new guidelines. Also see this prior post where some in the medical community agree.
