Re: If you are vaccinated, are you still wearing a mask?
I waited about 3 weeks before dropping my mask to see if the numbers spiked. They didn’t, so I am more casual about it. I always have it with me and if I’m in a store that I can’t be distanced from people, I’ll put it on. Or if I’m standing near someone w mask and gloves, to make them more comfortable , I put my mask on because it’s obv that if they are that covered up, it’s still super scary for them. The masks never bothered me enough to fight it. I mean, my throat hurt more and I had ear pain (1 infection) from wearing it all day everyday at work - but once i got used to it , that stopped.

1. That is THEIR issue and not for you to do anything differently around them.
2. Your throat hurting and ear pain just goes to show you how BAD masks could be to your health. Another reason not to wear them.

Re: If you are vaccinated, are you still wearing a mask?
Yup, especially with the Delta variant out there. As I mentioned in another thread, my parents' doctor told them yesterday to double mask on public transportation, so I'm just fine wearing a mask in stores until this thing is beaten once and for all.
(I'm also a teacher, and I had to wear it everyday for the whole year -- a few minutes in a store is nothing for my own peace of mind.)

Do you really think it will just be beaten once and for all with the variants they keep coming up with? Maybe after awhile they will realize people are not scared anymore, have gotten back to normal life and won’t deal with the media trying to control us forever.

I get it. I understand fear. I have quite a few that you can even say are irrational. Take my fear of bees for instance… people who know me, know I how I feel about them. So if we’re planning something outdoors, friends will sit closer to the flowers or leave me on the outside part of a table so I can RUN if I see one lol. May sound nuts to some people. Or it’s my problem and I shouldn’t get pick of a seat because of it. But I appreciate it. So if putting my mask on will help ease someone’s anxiety for the 3 minutes we stand to order cold cuts at the Deli, so be it. It’s the least I can do to help their day be a little easier.

How do you know they have anxiety though because they are wearing a mask and/or gloves? Maybe they don’t know the rules or don’t understand them well.
I am all for helping other people but if someone has a huge issue with masks and others not wearing them, then they truly need to stay home a little bit more and speak to someone about it.

Trying to figure out why an unvaccinated poster is on this thread calling people out regarding their decision to mask or unmask.

Because she's a f'in moron who thinks she knows better than everyone else and has ZERO respect for anyone who continues to wear a mask despite being vaccinated. She is OBSESSED with WHY people wear masks. She is a vile human being who also has zero reading comprehension skills. Just sayin'

I truly don't understand the utter OBSESSION with who does and does not mask up. Nevermind the fact that this question has been asked to death by her and repeatedly answered by so many. Absolutely crazy.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the OP was addressing VACCINATED people, not anti-mask crazies.

Only if my DD is with me because she wears one in a store and I feel like it’s unfair to make her wear one and not me. Stores in my area are about 50/50.
I went to get my nails done last week and when I walked in it was just the owner and the nail tech. The owner told me if I was vaccinated no need for the mask and said she and the tech were both vaccinated. As I’m putting my mask in my bag another customer comes in behind me and hears the owner's explanation. She proceeds to tell us we do have to wear masks, the CDC changed the rules. So I put my mask back on because I’m not in the mood to start arguing and this budding virologist dumba$$ proceeds to get her hair done with NO mask. Maskless the entire time.
What are the new CDC rules?
To my knowledge there is no CDC recommendation that would preclude 4 vaccinated people spread out in a large salon from removing their masks.
I didn’t even care about wearing it, I just couldn’t believe she had the nerve to tell us to wear our masks when she never put hers on.

Why would you put yours on then? She has some nerve to make up some rule and then not abide by it? You’ve got to stand up for yourself in situations like that. Sorry.

I can't believe that they are people who would actually speak up and tell strangers what to do. I would never in a million years do that, what others do is not my business. I probably would've done what you did but I'd be really pi$$ed about it. lol

If you are vaccinated, are you still wearing a mask?
Trust me ladies, I was super irritated. But I didn’t want to make a fuss in front of the owner and embarrass myself and not be able to go back. They give a great pedicure, I couldn’t risk it!

I really do think it can be beaten once and for all if enough people get vaccinated, yes. That's the whole point of herd immunity. It's how other vaccines have always worked.
And I am not scared. I trust journalists and don't think "the media" is the enemy. I am, however, wondering why you're on this thread since it asked vaccinated people's opinions, and you aren't one of those people (although I'm well aware you have plenty of opinions. Guess what -- I'm not interested.)

I was asking why someone would say being vaccinated had to wear a mask when the owners said it was ok not to. Then have that same person not wear one. Sorry I was curious.

The masks never bothered me enough to fight it. I mean, my throat hurt more and I had ear pain (1 infection) from wearing it all day everyday at work - but once i got used to it , that stopped.
A little consideration like this, if only to ease their anxiety, can really help someone's day.

So which one is it as I keep being told I shouldn’t worry about people wearing masks and now we are supposed to worry about ones who are because they might be scared and that is why they are wearing them and then need to put ours on to ease their fears?

I get it. I understand fear. I have quite a few that you can even say are irrational. Take my fear of bees for instance… people who know me, know I how I feel about them. So if we’re planning something outdoors, friends will sit closer to the flowers or leave me on the outside part of a table so I can RUN if I see one lol. May sound nuts to some people. Or it’s my problem and I shouldn’t get pick of a seat because of it. But I appreciate it. So if putting my mask on will help ease someone’s anxiety for the 3 minutes we stand to order cold cuts at the Deli, so be it. It’s the least I can do to help their day be a little easier.
How do you know they have anxiety though because they are wearing a mask and/or gloves? Maybe they don’t know the rules or don’t understand them well.

I don’t know for sure, you’re right. But To me, someone still so covered up seems to be being extra cautious so it doesn’t hurt for me to ease their anxiety by putting my mask on. I really don’t mind it at all.

That’s like saying I shaved my head because I saw someone with cancer and I wanted to ease their anxiety.
I have continually been slammed for noticing people wearing masks out but now it is ok if you notice them but put your mask on to make them feel better. Even though you have no clue why they are wearing it and just assume they are anxious. I am told I shouldn’t care why they are but now we should?

Shaving my head for a stranger with cancer is a little more involved then putting a mask on for a few minutes to ease someone’s nerves. I know assuming isn’t the smartest thing like assuming someone’s age, etc. but common sense tells me someone still covered up is someone still concerned about transmission.
I’m not saying YOU should do the same. It’s just something I do - like holding the door for someone, or reaching a high shelf for an elderly person/short person at the grocery store.
You shouldn’t care if someone still wears their mask. It’s their business. Just like it’s mine to put mine on around those being extra cautious.

So if we’re planning something outdoors, friends will sit closer to the flowers or leave me on the outside part of a table so I can RUN if I see one lol. May sound nuts to some people. Or it’s my problem and I shouldn’t get pick of a seat because of it. But I appreciate it. So if putting my mask on will help ease someone’s anxiety for the 3 minutes we stand to order cold cuts at the Deli, so be it. It’s the least I can do to help their day be a little easier.
How do you know they have anxiety though because they are wearing a mask and/or gloves? Maybe they don’t know the rules or don’t understand them well.
I am all for helping other people but if someone has a huge issue with masks and others not wearing them, then they truly need to stay home a little bit more and speak to someone about it.
I don’t know for sure, you’re right. But To me, someone still so covered up seems to be being extra cautious so it doesn’t hurt for me to ease their anxiety by putting my mask on. I really don’t mind it at all.
That’s like saying I shaved my head because I saw someone with cancer and I wanted to ease their anxiety.
I have continually been slammed for noticing people wearing masks out but now it is ok if you notice them but put your mask on to make them feel better. Even though you have no clue why they are wearing it and just assume they are anxious. I am told I shouldn’t care why they are but now we should?
???????
Shaving my head for a stranger with cancer is a little more involved then putting a mask on for a few minutes to ease someone’s nerves. I know assuming isn’t the smartest thing like assuming someone’s age, etc. but common sense tells me someone still covered up is someone still concerned about transmission.
I’m not saying YOU should do the same. It’s just something I do - like holding the door for someone, or reaching a high shelf for an elderly person/short person at the grocery store.
You shouldn’t care if someone still wears their mask. It’s their business. Just like it’s mine to put mine on around those being extra cautious.
ITA. There is ZERO need to try and understand why someone continues to wear a mask (or not), there is ZERO need to demand someone explain their choice either way and their is ZERO need for anyone to concern themselves with the choices someone else makes for themselves.
I think you're being very considerate of others with your actions, there is nothing at all wrong with that.

Re: If you are vaccinated, are you still wearing a mask?

I waited about 3 weeks before dropping my mask to see if the numbers spiked. They didn’t, so I am more casual about it. I always have it with me and if I’m in a store that I can’t be distanced from people, I’ll put it on. Or if I’m standing near someone w mask and gloves, to make them more comfortable , I put my mask on because it’s obv that if they are that covered up, it’s still super scary for them. The masks never bothered me enough to fight it. I mean, my throat hurt more and I had ear pain (1 infection) from wearing it all day everyday at work - but once i got used to it , that stopped.
So kind. I think it's great you do that.
Thank you.

No need to try and understand and no need for anyone to concern themselves with their choice but there IS a need to understand and concern themselves enough to put a mask on when you wouldn’t otherwise.
Gotcha.
