The only way that vaccinated people are going to be willing to wear masks

[dsc]

to protect unvaccinated people is if vaccines start being mandated. I followed the rules. I got my shot. When the CDC thought we needed to clean surfaces, I cleaned surfaces, I changed clothes immediately upon getting home from work, I showered, changed clothes, only used wash clothes and towels once. And I would do it again. But I am tired of the COVID collaborators and hearing about how it is their body their choice, when they literally don't believe that about anything else. Require them to vaccinate if they want to dine in restaurants, go to concerts and movies, and attend schools. Start making them carry their weight. Otherwise the vaccinated will rebel.

On edit, the fact kids as of now can't be vaccinated is a reasonable justification for the masks now. But at some point, that should change. And we need to be requiring those shots.

1. I have been fully vaccinated since March.

I have never stopped wearing a mask. I have never stopped cleaning surfaces, groceries, etc.

I have no plans to rebel because people (Republicans) are profoundly stupid and I am just waiting for them to die off.

5. I stopped cleaning surfaces at school since it doesn't spread that way

and in summer school I have only one class per day (so no shared chairs, no shared computers) I also don't shower after school each day anymore. The science changed on that. I do wear a mask in grocery stores, at work, to table in restaurants, while ordering in restaurants, etc.

2. Agreed.

I'm sick of republicans never having to face any consequences for their hypocrisy or for the bullshit they cause to other people

3. I'm just gonna mask up and watch the shitshow.

I’ll get my booster when available.

[Calculating]

4. I'm done with masks unless required

Did my job and got vaccinated, I'm over this.

6. wrong

some of us just do the right thing regardless of what we are "told"

[Treefrog]

19. Yup.

This has nothing to do with spite for me. I plan to stay healthy.

[Skittles]

21. I think the pandemic has displayed just how selfish so many people are

as long as they feel "safe", fuck everyone else

[Elessar Zappa]

7. I'll wear a mask if I'm indoors

for a period of time in close proximity to others, such as a concert I’ll be going to in September. Otherwise I’m not wearing one (unless a business requests it).

8. Its not like they're asking you to wear scuba gear!

Its just a mask, its not that big of a deal. The virus is raging out of control right now - we need to stop it. The mask is just another tool.

14. there needs to be a light at the end of this tunnel

and if we let the unvaccinated just be with no consequences, there will never be and end to the masking. It is hard to hear for me with masks in many cases. And a full day of teaching in masks is non trivially difficult. Honestly, I am starting to lose patience with this. We never should have lifted the mandate for vaccinated people in May. And we should have long ago required vaccinations. At the rate we are going we are going to have to wear masks until they are growing tomatoes on Mars.

[Blues Heron]

17. Good point about hearing people with masks on

Definitely not a good situation for teaching, you have my sympathies for having to deal with that. We definitely need to get more people vaxxed. We can beat this thing! It will definitely end well before the martian tomato harvest is in!

[Joinfortmill]

9. YES!

[Scrivener7]

10. Nah. They are not determining whether or not I will wear a mask.

Kids can't be vaccinated, I can still spread covid, etc.

Wearing a mask is just not that big a deal to me that I will use it as a bargaining chip for anything.

11. Never stopped wearing masks everywhere indoors and was fully vaccinated early as HCW.

Having spent half my life in surgical or N95 masks, I really have to ask what is such the big damned deal?

Look at it this way. We could have stopped at seatbelts (mandated). But, no we added driver's-side airbags.
Then side-impact airbags. Anti-lock breaks. Traction control. and on and on...No single measure is 100%
effective any more than ANY vaccine is 100%.

Each of these measures was an incremental addition to highway safety. Just as adding mask-wearing for a fully vaccinated person is an additional measure of safety with a variant surpassing all others in infectiousness--not only to the individual, but to prevent the inadvertent carriage/asymptomatic transmission of the virus to those who cannot be vaccinated

[Biophilic]

12. Hell no. I'll wear a mask as long as I need to to protect myself, my friends and family

as well as others around me. It is the right thing to do. I don't wear a mask simply to protect myself. I live in a community and I have responsibilities and obligations to that community. It if means wearing a mask to protect myself and others than so be it. I certainly am not going to have a hissy fit and not wear a mask because others are too stupid or scared to get a shot. My world view is a bit larger than that.

13. I'm vaccinated and I'm not rebelling. I'm willing to keep wearing a mask

if it can reduce my chances of getting even a mild case of covid (and so-called "mild" cases tend to be pretty bad; they just don't result in hospitalization) or spreading it to kids who can't be vaccinated yet or people who have fragile immune systems. Yes, I am angry that there are a lot of stupid people who won't get vaccinated because reasons, but I'm not masking up for them. Masks are just not a big deal.

[Crunchy Frog]

15. I only wear a mask to protect myself and my family.

I couldn't give a flying fuck about people who are unvaxxed by choice.

[Kaleva]

20. I have the same attitude.

[Midnight Writer]

16. Nobody (including myself) needs to get sick because I'm not wearing a mask.

It is such a small thing, a common courtesy, like keeping my britches zipped up.

It doesn't take me 5 seconds to put on a mask.

It's not a big deal.

[Kaleva]

18. I don't spend much time worrying about what others do. I'll concentrate on what I do or ought to do.

Told my wife this morning that when the Delta variant starts hitting Upper Michigan, I'll start wearing a mask again when I go out and about and I'll limit those excursions. And when I do shop to replenish the stocks, I'll be in the parking lot of the store when it first opens like I did last year.

[sinkingfeeling]

22. I was vaccinated in March and haven't stopped wearing masks.

[Earth-shine]

23. I wear masks because I want other people to wear them. nt

[CrackityJones75]

24. Today I started again.

CDC says wear em. So I wear em.

[Voltaire2]

25. Putting on the mask. Pissed off at covid breeders.

The federal gov needs to start requiring proof of vaccination for everything it controls.

[tinrobot]

26. I think the vaccinated are actually more wiilling to wear masks.

They're the ones who are following the protocols.

[Ocelot II]

27. Vaccinated people are not likely to rebel at wearing masks. However,

what we are likely to do is be more demanding of requirements for masks and vaccinations in as many circumstances as possible.
