It is likely the vaccine will be just as effective over the entire population as it was in the trials, but we can't have part of the population wearing masks and some not wearing masks until we get there. People may still be carriers, or rather said, people could still be capable of shedding the virus, so they could expose those who haven't been vaccinated, even if they were vaccinated, which is why it is necessary to wear masks until enough people are immune.

That sounds about how I was thinking about it. I didn’t go as in depth when I gave my response, but went along the same lines.
The weird thing is that the way this person brought it up was like it was more “they’re going to do this to us forever, so is the vaccine just a lie?” But at the same time they said they know how important other vaccines are and are fine with them.
