If everyone would extend that kind of friendship and consideration even the new variant could be beaten down in the U.S.
I know you feel you are doing the only thing that makes anything right in this world by wearing a mask to protect those who are not vaccinated. I commend you for your efforts.

Having said that, I refuse to mask to protect those who refuse to protect themselves. Sorry for those who cannot get vaccinated for medical reasons but it is up to THEM to protect themselves with a PROTECTIVE mask (N95 or equivalent) when they are out in public. I've done my part by being vaccinated and I have much less of a chance of becoming contagious and infecting anyone. I'M DONE wearing that mask but will abide by the wishes of any establishment that REQUIRES masking with a posted sign on their door. That is it for me.
