      So this one is "anecdata may not apply"—I haven't checked widely—but the reaction I'm seeing to being vaccinated seems to be more dramatic reduction in *anxiety* while remaining fairly conservative, yet, with changing behavior. I bet the US mood is gonna shift soon—dramatically.

      (Also I should add that there would be nothing wrong with —especially private—behavioral change among the vaccinated. That's the point of vaccination. They *are* safer. It's not a "false" sense of security because the increased security from being vaccinated is very real.)

          And to round this out, a reduction in anxiety is not a minor thing! Anxiety is a debilitating condition in its extreme forms, but persistent anxiety is unhealthy and real in its effects. (Not a mind/body dualist here😀). Big deal in my opinion if it really is a widespread effect.

          What I experienced, a bit unexpectedly, was palpable, emotional relief. And after talking to people it turns out I’m not alone. Many people find themselves crying when taking the shot because they’ve been suppressing emotions for so long.

          yet I thought vaccination does not suddenly stop your capacity to infect another if the vaccinated person is infected. all the more reason to mask up.

          I fear some people who receive the vaccine will go around unmasked either because they're selfish or stupid or both. Making them particularly dangerous.

          The vaccination might make you no longer a danger to yourself or others, but other people are still going to *feel* unsafe around you because there are plenty of people crazy enough to lie about being vaccinated to not wear a mask.

          I may be carpooling to our 2nd shots with a neighbor who has had to be highly cautious. Yes we’ll mask + open windows but first dose alone provides significant protection and I’m elated for her that her world is opening up again. (I teach in person & eager to be fully vaxxed.)
