You are helping yourself and the country overall by taking the vaccine. Good for you, I will be doing the same.
Where we disagree is your attitude that once YOU are immune you can stop wearing the mask. Even though you might infect those of us less fortunate than you that have to wait longer for the vaccine, YOU are immune so the rest of us can fend for ourselves.
Today there are many people who are either immune or young enough to expect minor symptoms. Using your logic, why should they wear masks? They have already helped their country by becoming immune or they are currently helping their country by attempting to become immune and adding to herd immunity. One of the benefits of taking that risk should be the ability to go back to a normal life. Sure, they can still infect both of us but that is not their problem, they have taken the risk to help their country and now they should get the benefits of taking that risk.
I will understand your position better when you start advocating that anyone that has already had the virus and anyone under 40 can stop wearing masks today.
