I find it to be condescending and would be insulted if I was on the other end of your "respecting." Why not just be honest and say that you do not trust the vaccine?

I do trust the vaccine. I'm looking forward to the day I'm eligible to get it. As are millions of people in Florida, and billions around the world. But we're not even close to "most" people being vaccinated yet. Many of us aren't eligible to get it yet. Many are eligible, and are still waiting for their appointments.
So for those of us who choose to not isolate ourselves, but have a practical, scientifically-based, reasonable concern (not panic) about being out in public while vulnerable to a deadly virus, I am continuing to mask when I'm inside other peoples' buildings. Reducing the anxiety that MANY people have when they go out, at next to zero inconvenience or expense to ourselves, is the humane thing to do.
