I still mask, I think COVID is super serious and I work with immunocompromised patients in a hospital, and I take public transit, so it’s just generally a good idea. I am very, very, very vaccinated, but I’m still not comfortable unmasked. Two angry men on separate occasions have made comments to me about masking and how I don’t need to do it. I just stare right through them and ignore, but why are they so angry? It does not affect them in the slightest, and if they think I’m stupid have at it.

    You are right, but why rely on a single method of protection? Vaccinations are good, but not perfect.

    Think of it as using a condom despite being on birth control pills: you are not just unlikely, but really really unlikely to get pregnant and it also protects from stds.

      I also work with patients who have to get vaccines you’ve never heard of just to stay alive. Immunocompromise is pretty serious, I could not feel right if I infected them by being careless.
