To never wear a mask again!

[MasieMaskless]

Now fully vaccinated.

There’s no point to me wearing a mask anymore and I’m seeing more and more people who may or may not be fully vaccinated not wearing them so why should I bother with the discomfort of wearing one?

WIBU to totally abandon them with glee?!

I stopped wearing one a few months ago. Best thing I ever did. I'm asthmatic and it was making my asthma worse.

That’s completely acceptable on medical grounds.

I’ve had two jabs now and I am still wearing a mask, even vaccinated people pass the virus onto others.

You can still transmit Covid to others even if fully vaccinated. So I’d still follow whatever rules your country has for mask wearing.

Do you know that you being vaccinated prevents you from passing on covid asymptomically to another who is not yet vaccinated? If that has been confirmed as certain by professionals involved in vaccines and infectious diseases then YANBU however if it has not then YABU and are putting people at risk.

I'm not getting the connection between you being fully vaccinated and not wearing a mask?

I get the impression some people want this mask/lockdown situation to go on forever.

It's still possible to pass covid on to others when you're vaccinated. Hence why the mask rule is still in place. YABu

I'm looking forward to ditching the masks but while ever public health experts are asking us to wear them I'll keep mine on - it was never really for my safety anyway.

Just because people aren't willing to throw their masks away right this very instant doesn't mean they want it to go on forever. This is a ridiculous and lazy line which often gets trotted out if anyone suggests it might be sensible to keep wearing them for the moment.

What gives you that impression? Lots of people still have not been vaccinated so while things start to return to 'normal' then of course the risk increases for the non vaccinated if everyone just decides 'Fuck it I'm OK I'm vaccinated so I'm not wearing a mask anymore' Cases are currently low, things are opening up again, it is heading in the right direction but it isn't over yet and complacency is one of the worst things right about now

I wear a mask to protect others.
You are wrong and there’s still a point to wearing yours.
Don’t be a dick.

I’m looking forward to ditching them op and well done on your fully vaccinated status but how are you going to get round the requirement to wear them in places?

You can still catch it and you can still spread it. Tbh, masks will probably be a long term thing. Just get used to it. You dont have a medical exemption so need to keep the masks on.

It's strange that people in many far Eastern countries have been wearing masks for years and there have been no additional asthma deaths.

Weird

I decided I’m always wearing one in stores from now on until forever! I think it helps keeps colds and flu away, and I like the social distancing that goes with it too. I currently wear two masks and will continue to until I’m 3 weeks post vaccination

I'm pretty much done with masks and have been wearing one less. We can't wear them for ever, we'll unless you want to.

I don't mind you not wearing a mask personally OP. There's other measures that make a lot more difference eg windows being open which people don't seem to fixate on like the masks issue. Covid rates have gone down a lot and you're statistically unlikely to be a risk to those around you in the UK even unvaccinated. We're going to have to get used to being around people again at some point soon.

That's a very selfish attitude. I haven't been able to get my vaccination yet and have to be extra careful and people who just can't be arsed because it's low risk for them are nothing other than selfish. Not to mention those who can't have it for medical reasons or because of their age. Clearly you didn't see bbc news yesterday with kids unable to keave their homes.

None of us likes wearing masks. But I hope that those who have had both vaccinations will have care for all those who have yet to get the them.
Given the impact of long covid along with everything we are seeing in India and other countries it seems monumentally selfish for the vaccinated to risk spreading the virus if they get it, to others not fortunate enough to be vaccinated yet. It won't be too much longer before the majority have been vaccinated - let's just think of others in these last months.

I thought the whole point of masks was to protect others, not yourself so yes you've been vaccinated but what about others who are yet to have it?

What @OnlyFoolsnMothers said.

@Itsokthanks

I'm pretty much done with masks and have been wearing one less. We can't wear them for ever, we'll unless you want to.

It's attitudes like this that put others at risk. It would be fine if the mask wearing protected yourself then I'd be happy enough with continuing wearing mine to be protected from others but unfortunately it doesn't work that way. It's disrespectful to everyone you come in contact with not to wear a mask right now without a valid reason for not wearing one, being 'done with it' doesn't count as a valid reason.

I haven’t seen anything recorded that a fully vaccinated person transmitted the virus. Has anyone else?

You’d have to have enough viral load to transmit it and that’s the whole point of the vaccine, to stop it replicating, isn’t it?

I’m early 40’s OnlyFools but a carer for my disabled son and have suffered massively as well due to lack of services for him thanks.
