I'm fully vaccinated, and it's been long enough that I am not a risk to others and they are not a risk to me in relation to Covid. I've followed the science from the beginning, I've read the studies, all evidence we have points to it being close enough to impossible for me to transmit it to others, which is what the masks help with.
At this time, my continuing to wear a mask is a symbol of my alignment with "right thinking people" and showing I'm willing to "do my duty", it does nothing to actually help anyone and is both as effective and meaningful scientifically as if I were to wear a certain colored hat or a certain pin in order to fulfill government and social obligations. I'll do it anyway, because as others have mentioned it's just not that big of a deal. It makes communication harder (harder for others to hear and understand you), and it makes breathing harder (get fatigued after less exertion), but neither of those are huge insurmountable problems and if wearing a mask is what is required of me then hey I'll play along. Failing to do so would be a way bigger hassle and I value my time too much to make it a bigger deal than it is. But I do so while being fully aware that I'm just playing along with a charade and my actions provide no benefit to myself or others. |

I think that there remains an advantages of a fully vaccinated person wearing a mask for a while. 70 to 85 percent of the population is not fully vaccinated, so wearing a mask makes them more comfortable interacting with you. I'll wear a mask until we have full vaccination (however that's defined) and the virus dies down.
And the vaccine's not 100 percent effective, so while a bunch of non-vaxxed people are still running around there's still a possibility of getting it. So even if one is only self-motivated, it's a good idea to remain cautious until the spread is minimal.

Been nearly a week since AZ opened all the way back up. I don't really notice much difference in mask wearing. Old Towne Scottsdale not withstanding.

Well, I have already recovered from Covid. So I have no need to wear it.

Vacation to Florida so far:
American Airlines Saturday - Strict mask policy. No spacing at all. EPCOT Sunday - Strict mask and spacing policy actively enforced. Lunch in Kissimmee and fan boat tour Monday - Strict mask policy, no spacing. Kennedy Space Center Tuesday - Mask and spacing policies posted, but widely ignored by public and violations not corrected by onlooking staff. I’m going along with whatever I encounter.

I could see some masks like cloth masks or the masks surgeons wear not being effective at preventing transmission of the virus because they do not constitute great quality. This virus is a very very very tiny particulate and is able to penetrate through some of these masks because there are voids in some of these masks that are bigger than the size of the viral particulate itself. It could penetrate its way through masks that way. It is one subtle, defiant ahole. Aside from that, Not all masks are equal in quality but there are some masks in particular like the N95 that are very effective at preventing the virus from penetration/transmission. It is tried, tested and approved by the OHSA and prevents inhalation of 95% all particles of various sizes, types and forms. The mask apparently polarizes the virus because it has an electrostatic filter and to me that seems comprehensible because it is consistent with science. I believe in mask wearing but it all depends on which mask? The way I look at it, Sometimes we need the best quality of armour that could serve as that top line of defense against a lethal biochemical weapon if we want to best protect ourselves? I’m not yet vaccinated but the N95 makes me hopeful I will get eventually get there and persist through this sh*t. I rely on it as my defense. It has done me very well. I give it an A+ *p.s. good on you for getting vaccinated. Hope it goes well.
