So if your argument is that 90%+ overwhelming majority of the population should wear masks for a tiny % of people that can’t or won’t be vaccinated.

Well that’s a pretty warped stance to take.
Once again, you take a binary approach - all or nothing…

In the U.K. population, half have had only one dose - that half have an over 50% chance of catching Covid (51%-62%, according to your link); and the link isn’t about the Delta Variant, which is much more infectious.

So if your argument that over 50% of the U.K. population should risk a higher than average chance of getting Covid

"Well that’s a pretty warped stance to take"…
