The Republicans refusing to wear masks are like the guy in the group of survivors in a Zombie movie who keeps quiet about the fact that he's been bitten.

I believe many have first shots but not second shot yet, and most vaccines take a couple weeks to become fully effective

I had forgotten about it taking a few weeks to be effective. Don't know about the 2nd shots. According to my state's dhhr site only about 13,000 people have had both shots and those in the gov't were among the first to get the vaccine.
Looking back, there was a flurry of news and photos of Congress getting (first) vaccine shots around Dec 19, which would have 2nd shot implied for this past weekend.
If I were a betting man, I’d wager on a very high correlation between congressional anti-maskers and those that voted pro-insurrection. Perhaps not quite completely overlapping set, but darn close, as suffering from a common single source of insanity
"Inbox: Rep. Ayanna Pressley's husband has tested positive for COVID-19. Pressley's husband was with her during the Capitol riot and sheltered in the same safe room with her and maskless Republicans. "

Pelosi and an aid just tested positive. They are both vaccinated and have mild symptoms so far, so they should hopefully be safe.
Also, Jen Psaki recently confirmed a breakthrough infection in the White House:
"Press secretary Jen Psaki confirmed that there have been multiple breakthrough coronavirus cases among White House staffers. Psaki did not say how many breakthrough cases there have been in the White House, but added that she would check."
She says the administration's commitment to "release information provocatively" only applies to "commissioned officers."
“We know that there will be breakthrough cases, but as this instance shows, cases in vaccinated individuals are typically mild,” a WH official says. “The White House is prepared for breakthrough cases with regular testing.”

It seems there may be an actual delta outbreak occurring in congress, but I believe pretty much everybody is vaccinated.
"Several vaccinated Congressional staff (in addition to one vaccinated Member of Congress) have contracted COVID, per new memo from Office of Attending Physician at Capitol"

I mentioned in another thread that I am aware of one local office that had a likely delta breakout last week. Five fully vaxxed people got sick (symptomatic) with 2 being knocked out for 6+ days. Both are in their late 20s/early 30s and super healthy. This was a wake up call for me—will be masking again.

Delta is all over the country and making up the majority of sequenced cases in quite a few places now. Vaccines are keeping people to asymptomatic and mild cases though instead of putting more people in hospitals and the ground.
