I'm assuming that there are still people that want to get vaccinated but haven't been able to do so yet, so I feel a responsibility toward my fellow humans.

But once every that wants to be vaccinated has been, I feel no responsibility to those who choose not to be vaccinated. I shouldn't have to live my life based on their choices.
I agree with everything you said and I look forward to the day masking will no longer be necessary. I do have one concern.....If we haven't reached herd immunity, isn't there still a chance that the virus will continue to mutate creating more variants? Will masking be recommended until herd immunity is actually achieved and who knows how long that is going to take?
