After I'm fully vaxxed, I'm not gonna wear a mask unless it's required to enter a place, I'm not gonna socially distance, I'm not gonna be careful, and I get a lil triggered when I see people saying we should be. What sort of life are we preserving at that point?

And how can we be sure that every person without a mask has been vaccinated?

We can't. But if every person has the ability to get vaccinated and chooses not to, then imo at this point it's a risk they as an adult human are choosing to take, they're no longer threatening others (who can get vaccinated if they want), and I have no business controlling that.

I agree but in certain areas they don’t have enough vaccines available or have began vaccinating people like that. Just like covid testing at the beginning of the pandemic last year

I am more ok being cautious while there are still people who want vaccines and can't get them But tbf at this point all the high risk people have had the ability to get vaccines in the area I'm in

The fact that they are no longer *really* endangering others (who can go get vaxxed by now) is key. I guess the only exception is endangering those who can’t get vaxxed due to allergic reaction, however small that population may be.

Though we should probably wait until vaccine supply exceeds demand to relax this norm because until then there will be unvaccinated people who can't help but be unvaccinated. After that, I agree: Go nuts.

Since you're an adult, probably at the point you're fully vaccinated, there will still be quite a lot of people who don't have the option at all: in the US, everyone under 16, adults who are still waiting in line, people in institutions who can't control their own care, &c

They are threatening others in the sense that they’re allowing the virus to continue to mutate (potential vaccine evasion). But no, I don’t think vaccines should be mandated.

We're not there yet. When we are? Survival of the fitness baby

Also we may never reach zero spread and 100% vaccination. So if “you can’t know if an unmasked is vaccinated”, you’re advocating mask mandates forever. Also masks have been pointless *outdoors* for just walking or hanging at the park around for a long time.
