Here's a couple that say similar things: https://www.mhealth.org/blog/2021/jan-2021/mask-and-social-distance-even-after-covid-19-vaccine https://health.clevelandclinic.org/already-vaccinated-heres-why-you-shouldnt-stop-wearing-your-face-mask-yet/ https://www.hackensackmeridianhealth.org/HealthU/2021/01/20/3-reasons-why-you-should-continue-wearing-a-mask-after-getting-the-covid-19-vaccine/ https://khn.org/news/article/5-reasons-to-wear-a-mask-even-after-youre-vaccinated/ Not wearing a mask is consistent with the points they're bringing up. It's just a different conclusion. (Remember science doesn't tell you what to do, it just provides the facts.) The main point is about herd immunity, which isn't relevant in most local cases we're talking about. It doesn't matter that the US is only 40% vaxxed if everyone at your grocery store or gym or party is fully vaxxed. You have local immunity. Same with a scenario where the US is 99% vaxxed. If you're hanging out with the non-vaxxed 1%, then you're still at risk. The other point is about asymptomatic transfer. Science has not found evidence for it, nor do we have enough data to rule it out. So if you want to take the paranoid conclusion there, that's fine. But it's also valid to conclude that asymptomatic transfer is not enough of a risk, like most things that have no evidence. If they find evidence for it then I sure as hell would wear the mask again. --- _foolmo_ he says listen to my story this maybe are last chance <cite>foolm0r0n posted [p:954933972] in With mask ...
