Here are the NIOSH approved N95 masks:

I did misread that. You said " You can pretty much cut the 37% and 21% in half with Delta." An 18%/10% reduction is still significant.
Every reduction matters. Of course, you have to weigh that against the costs of reduction measures. I'm still waiting to hear from you what the gain is from dropping mask requirements.
The vaccine is absolutely the most effective way. However, just like when you wear a condom, it's always good for these to be a second method of protection, so here vaccination is extremely important, but we can do even better.

This is pretty much what I have felt might in fact be the best case end game. We’ll see I guess. Interestingly, Israel just announced they would be offering a 4th shot! In fact, some of their medical authorities are now suggesting it will be likely that boosters would be needed about every 5 months from here on out. That sure would act as an accelerant in the states, where the vaccine component of our cold civil war is concerned, since it’s obvious the vaccines have become a battle line in our culture wars.
The gain is that kids like this girl may be alive.

Wait a minute. Why would a lack of mask mandates have saved that girls life? Did it say in the article that the only reason she didn't vaccinated was because she thought wearing a mask was better than a vaccine and so she figured the mask would save her life? I didn't see that quote in the article. (Admittedly I was slim reading so maybe I missed it.The gain is that kids like this girl may be alive.
Utah’s 2nd youth COVID-19 death is unvaccinated Salt Lake County teen
A Salt Lake County teenager who was not vaccinated against the virus became Utah’s second youth COVID-19 death Thursday, as the delta variant continues to drive up cases in the state despite reports the latest surge may have peaked in the United States.
The 10% efficacy of a mask, if the protection is even that high with a cloth mask on a child against the Delta variant which new research is casting doubt on, is not the equivalent of a 95%+ efficacy vaccine. Cloth masks are essentially useless in protecting a kid against the Delta variant but they provide adults an excuse to not get their kids vaccinated because they wrongly believe in cloth masks.
Misinformation... Not surprised Thriller and Fish fell for such blatant stupidity. Thriller called others idiots 4 times on this page yet fell for blatant propaganda that the dumbest of true idiots should've figure out. Fish it's just natural for him to fall for stuff like this, it's hard to be too hard on him because he doesn't know any better.
Thanks for reading
