To be fair, people are confused about N95, "surgical", gathering if vaccinated, and so on because the official advice has changed.
Now I'm not saying there is a conspiracy or the experts are all bozos.
What I am saying is have a heart about your fellow citizen. They have a right to be confused. Over the last 21 months, the message has changed so much regarding masks and vaccines that it is confusing.
Try to gently encourage them to keep up with the latest, and to discuss why advice changes.
I'm seeing too much "Experts are idiots because they changed their minds" and too much "People are idiots because they are not paying attention." Not here, but in general. So now people stop talking.
It is sad.
