The purpose of the mask was to prevent the spread of, and from receiving the virus, so if I'm protected how is it my fault to worry about someone else who refuses to get the vaccine? It;s up to them to continue wearing a mask, not me.
Masks primarily protect those around the wearer. Since many people have not been able to get the vaccine as of this time, I'll continue to wear a mask indoors in public places out of respect for my fellow humans.

I've had both doses but from what I understand, I can still contract the virus and pass it on to others. Once everyone in the state of Florida that wants to be vaccinated has been, I will stop wearing a mask. At that point, as you say, people have made a choice it is not my responsibility to protect them.
