I have distanced myself from others, a practice I started when overseas. I've been to countries where body odor was so bad that one would almost become ill in the same public transport. Illnesses in other countries are not as controlled as they are in the good ole U.S. of A. Same with hygiene.
No, I am not going to continue to wear my mask. I only wore it when required by a business, anyway. Now, the signs are being removed. I do not care whether or not others are getting the vaccination. That is their choice and it won't effect me when I am shopping. Live goes on and I have no intention of being scared/frightened into wearing a hazmat suit or hiding in my cellar until the "all clear" notice.
And yes, I do wonder if there will be any long lasting, adverse effects from the vaccination. However, I had little choice in the matter. I got it to protect my spouse, a person that I wish to share life with for as long as possible. Some folks have no one that they care enough about to warrant making reluctant choices. I get it. I am gambling that if there are adverse effects from the vaccination, that I will be long gone before they kick in.

You are, "gambling that adverse effects from the vaccine do NOT kick in until AFTER you are dead". That is unlikely logic. That would mean that the vaccine had some kind of TIME clock embedded in it, which would switch on some nasty adverse effect after SOME (?) AMOUNT OF TIME ticked by. And you would have been LUCKY enough to be DEAD by that clock time.
I very much doubt that there will be ANY adverse effects. But, to continue with your example.......If you were to have an adverse effect, then it would likely happen while you are still alive and cause a long-term skin rash, or long-term pain, or maybe EVEN be bad enough to CAUSE your death. Either way, IF there is an adverse effect to the vaccine, it will not let you off easily by coming on AFTER you are dead. Yours was a misguided statement (like many others)!
