Why, if majority are vaccinated, are we still masking? (New York: live in, restaurants)

I was just at American Dream mall yesterday. It was like stepping into 2019, back to the future. No masks.
Its like COVID magically disappears once you cross the Hudson.
Not quite .
Our kids are quarantined right now in New Jersey because two kids in my grand daughters class have it .
As of today (12-13-2021) 81.9% of the adult population in New York State is fully vaccinated. So it's starting to look like some of the vaccines are not as effective as announced. What's more likely is that Hochul is using this as another way to control New Yorkers. What she can't understand is that she is killing off any chance of a mass return to offices by large employers in NYC. No sane employer is going to return to an environment where masking rules and vaccination rules change at whim. Once a lot of those expensive NYC office leases run out many companies will opt for a small physical presence in the city for executives, if even that. WFH is the sane choice for modern employers. No worries about Hochul, deBlasio or any other elected official.
What Hochul is trying to do is suck the life out of New York. Whoever thought a Catholic Governor would kill the Christmas season in her own state?
BTW I'm fully vaxxed (Pfizer) with a booster shot.
Even when the vaxx rate hits 99.999999% she'll find an excuse to impose another mandate.
Precisely why I used the roll eyes emoji. People don't want to believe me when I say this is all political.
I mean, she's instilling fear in NYers, asking them to mask up again, and she wants people to return to the office in the New Year. How does any of this make sense??
