As we all know by now, the CDC recommended on July 27 that all people regardless of vaccination status wear masks indoors to stop the spread of the Delta variant:
To prevent further spread of the Delta variant, the CDC updated its mask guidance to recommend fully vaccinated people wear masks indoors when in areas with "substantial" and "high" transmission of Covid-19, which includes nearly two-thirds of US counties. https://t.co/tFUtmbZi3Y

And Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber was on CNN on Monday ripping Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for not mandating masks indoors in the state:
Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber ripped Republican Ron DeSantis as the "pied piper" of COVID-19 who's "leading everybody off a cliff."
"The governor stopped allowing us to do [mask mandates], and then immediately we saw a surge across our county and state."https://t.co/PIa1ruRJPS

This would be the same Mayor Gelber spotted without a mask on in this photo from a tweet dated July 28, one day after the CDC recommendation:

Maybe Covid doesn’t spread if you’re indoors for a good cause?
