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 implicitly trust the Moderna vaccine I received. The vaccines are what is going to get us out of this global mess. It will be the vaccines that will get us to a SAFE herd immunity. We aren't there yet so I will continue to mask to protect those who have not been able to be vaccinated yet.
There is evidence that vaccinated people are not contagious and will not infect others if they do contract the virus. Until all testing is completed and we vaccinated people are told there is no way we can infect others, I will continue to wear my mask and keep my distance from others. I'm protected and I feel as safe now as I did pre-pandemic so my wearing a mask is not out of fear. It is for my respect and empathy for those who are clamoring to be vaccinated.
