We all know that wearing a mask is for the protection of others from YOU!!!!

Right?!
Primarily for the protection of others against you. Somewhat from protection of yourself against others.

YOUR mask provides SOME protection to YOU, and MORE protection to OTHERs.

THEIR mask provides some protection for themselves, and MORE protection for you.

YOUR vaccine provides the MOST protection to you, more than masks that other people wear and even more than social distancing.

YOUR vaccine provides SOME protection to everyone else...

UNLESS they are also vaccinated.

If everyone in the room is vaccinated, the entire room will share the MOST protection among any other option.
