Sorry folks, no matter WHAT the CDC says, too many will lie about the vaccine

It is my advice that you wear your mask when inside.

I just ordered some more

I am fully vaccinated (2nd Pfizer on 4/20) but am not taking any chances with variants and how these treason weasels were already manufacturing fake vax cards before anything was lifted.

They. are. intent. on. causing. suffering. I'm not taking my mask off just yet.

2. One of the workers at Costco said I didn't have to wear a mask but I didn't

for a few reasons. 1. I don't want to encourage the idiots who have been refusing to wear one this entire past year and 2. I don't want to infect someone else and 3. I don't want someone yelling at me.

But if more information comes out that a vaccinated person can't shed enough of the virus to really infect someone else who is not vaccinated then I am going to take it off if that is what others are doing. I do believe that at some point we need to go back to life as it used to be.

7. 4. I want to let other people know this is not over

and hopefully encourage others to take care of themselves and of others

Wearing a mask is a signal that you trust science and care about the health of other people. It is a sign of anti-selfishness.

6. Also, we don't know how long our vaccinations are effective.

I'll continue to mask up and keep my distance inside.

11. I just read a new study saying at 6 months, protection goes down to 50% for Moderna & Pfizer

and lower for J & J which is why they are now recommending a booster at 6 months. Some sites say a booster is needed within a year. Lots of different info out there. The booster shots they are currently testing are against the Brazilian and African strains - so what about the Indian double and triple mutantion strains???

9. The CDC recommendation is very well supported by science.

If new data in future, perhaps resulting from a new, more vax-resistant variant that does not yet exist, changed that, they would change the recommendation.

I'll be wearing my mask only sometimes indoors here in GA -- where we do not meet national averages -- because 94% efficacy is not completely reassuring considering my 80-year-old husband.

I already wear a big button that says I'm fully vaccinated, though. Both to reassure those who'd want to know and so I'm not mistaken for a depraved pod person.

assholes not vacc'ing or masking. I figure pretty much everyone has had opportunity to vacc and those not, won't so illness and death on them. After reading why CDC made there statement and how well vacc is protected and not giving others, I am done with the arguing.

12. If they aren't required I'm not wearing one

I wear glasses and I'm ridiculously tired of fogging them up with every exhale. I'm also in good health and all my family are vaccinated. I'm trusting the science and taking off the damn mask.
