I wouldn't say needlessly. There are people in towns near my city that would normally be transported to the cities ICUs, but they can't because there is no room. People say the tests or the vaccine don't work but no one claims more than 3 percent of their hospitalized covid cases have been previously vaccinated. So, whatever the test tests for, the vaccine mostly prevents, and that thing is taking up way too many of my counties hospital beds. We can call it the flu, or the cold, or the vapors, but I wish everyone would go get their vapors vaccine so people who get in car wrecks could get fixed up in a timely manner.

It makes sense to impose restrictions where vaccination rates are low and ICUs are being filled up (or will be filled up due to continued growth in cases over the coming weeks in the absence of restrictions).
That's not the case in the SF Bay Area where vaccination rates are very high, keeping hospitalizations and ICU use low, yet mask mandates were reimposed here. We have plenty of ICU capacity.
