I am honestly surprised by the indoor recommendation.

Outdoors, most everybody can go without a mask and be A-OK.

Indoors, particularly with poor circulation, and with a mix of vaccinated folks (who carry the disease just like those unvaccinated folk) and unvaccinated is a recipe for disaster.

What the CDC *probably meant* is that if you are in a place where you are certain there are only vaccinated folks, then it's ok to take the mask off inside. What the CDC just effectively announced is that the mask mandate is over for indoors since "everybody" is gonna claim they have been vaccinated.
