Masks suck but they help to not spread it to vulnerable individuals.

Boosters help a bit with that but it will still spread like crazy without masking.

What qualifies as a vulnerable individual? Do they wear a T-shirt saying so, or do we all have to wear masks on the off-hand chance we're near one?

No, it's just largely unnecessary. If you want to really protect people DON'T GO OUTSIDE YOUR HOUSE. Ever. Stay shut in, it's the only way to be sure.
