Wearing a mask costs nothing and makes everyone around you feel safer. Why would anyone not be willing to do such a simple act if you can calm fears of those you interact with. And if you do not choose to get vaccinated and wear a mask, then please pay the full cost of your healthcare because all the people you refuse to wear a mask for, should not have to pay the rising cost of healthcare and insurance because of your selfishness.

Since wearing a mask (unless the 95 type) is useless, I do not wear a mask. I do not care if it makes folks I do not know "feel safer." Maybe they need to face reality. And as far as "paying my full cost of healthcare" that is my business and actually I do feel that I have paid MORE than my share toward the insurance industry. Calling someone "selfish" is just a juvenile attempt to get your way. I do not agree with your opinion and I do not expect you to agree with mine. Suffice it to say, if you wish to "feel safer" then concentrate on your own welfare, not expecting someone else to look out for you.
I went shopping at Walmart the other day and there was a lady at the door handing out cheap thin paper masks for anyone wishing to "feel safer" or for those that wish to coddle others and make them "feel safer" by wearing the silly things. I stay my distance from others and expect the same courtesy from them. If not, then it is on them if they catch something. Either way, it makes no difference to me. I have my vaccinations and will ponder the idea of any benefit to the booster when offered. I am in no hurry to get the booster and have no complaint if someone wishes to jump the line in front of me. I take responsibility for myself and will not blame anyone else if I catch the dreaded covid.
