Are you vaccinated? Do you expect people to wear masks forever in your presence?
I am vaccinated and fully expect to wear a mask for at least another 6 months and would ask people around me to do the same. It’s really, really not a big deal.
I am in the last group to be vaccinated in Canada. Right now they are optimistically thinking by end of July.

What is the use of a mask in a room full of vaccinated people? Or in public when the only people not vaccinated who are able to take it have declined it?

It's no big deal to ask you to never drive over 20mph. It's really, really not a big deal. Just plan better and don't be in a rush. Speed kills.
Isn't this the key? Most US states are at like, less than 10% vaccination, and it's still not clear if vaccinated people can spread the virus. No one (sensible) is saying masks forever, but yeah, keep a mask on for reasonable (i.e. indoor or high-density) situations until everyone who wants one can get one feels like a very reasonable ask. The pandemic's not over just because you got put at the front of the line.

The point is a vaccinated person with covid spreads it to another vaccinated person in that room who later spreads it to a non-vacced person somewhere else the next day.

Covid has been found in 4 stillbirths here. Placentitis.

Can’t even begin to imagine that for the poor mothers.

I am not. And no, but I expect them to wear them at the COVID vaccination site on March 4th, 2021.
I’m with B on this one.
We're currently in a state of, "I don't know you or your vaccine status, so we're a mask so I don't have to ask.". Also, there's some concern that a vaccinated person could have virus in their nose and blow it out onto other people. It's probably horseshit, bit wearing a mask for a few more months is an easy precaution.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

fuck if I know how people are supposed to get vaccinated.
Wait a few more weeks until there is basically enough supply for whoever even cares anymore?

It actually is clear that vaccinated people can't spread the virus, or at least are greatly less likely to, but the social control methods seem to working great on cucks like you.

Anyway it's also not at all clear how much the vaccine reduces transmission. I know reading isn't your thing but this is from today:

“They should wear masks until we actually prove that vaccines prevent transmission,” said Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases.


Dude, read between the lines. This shit is over for you after you are vaccinated.

At worst the vaccine will make your case of Covid very mild and at best stop transmission. I'm not wearing a mask once everyone who wants to be vaccinated has had an opportunity to get vaccinated. We're being told in Canada that will be end of September and in my part of Canada end of July.

Sure, okay, we're saying the same things! It's a pretty easy, kind, understanding thing to do to keep wearing your mask *just in case* until everyone who wants the the vax can get one, or until there's solid proof of non-transmission. We're talking like eight months tops, and of course you can do whatever the fuck you want with your vaccinated friends.

i love verb but the fact that he is vaccinated (and 90% of the country still is not) but he's pushing the 'people shouldn't wear masks' narrative is a bit tough to swallow in that context

if i am going to consume anti-mask propaganda i need it from someone unvaccinated who is putting their money where their mouth is (pun intended)

unless

verb now looks like this

Pretty easy to speculate on the connection between "I've got my vaccine I don't need to give a shit about anyone else" and "help I'm depressed!"

Other than work related stupidity the main reason to accept the shot for me was to spend time with my parents. It's been working out great, not spreading the virus to them and all. There is this little voice in the back of my head that makes me worry Im going to kill them though, I think it's the new york times.
