The problem with your supposition is that you(and many others) are assuming that anyone without a vaccination and anyone without a mask are INFECTED and contagious.
What are the chances that you will encounter someone that is infected?
In such an encounter, what is the chance that you will become infected?
If infected, what is the chance that you will be hospitalized?
If hospitalized, what is the chance that you will DIE?
Taking all that into consideration , your best bet is to wear thick body armor and stay away from any area that has moving vehicles, do not use mobile transportation of any type, and drink only distilled water.
I have no problem with vaccinations. I also have no problem with those that do not get vaccinated. Looking at the law of probability regarding the chance of my getting infected with or without a vaccination and with or without a mask, I am not fooled by the media and the gov into thinking that I need a nanny to mandate every facet of my lifestyle. And patriotism is not an issue here, so lets drop that tactic.
I can support vaccinations but I do not believe in mandates of this sort.
But staying on subject, I am not sure whether or not I will obtain a booster. And as of this time, the booster is not really supported by the federal gov research. If and when they decide that it might be advantageous, I might consider it. But, since I am in great shape and better than many that have survived the virus, I may abstain from participation.
