OR, live your normal life and worry about infection when or IF it ever hits you. As for being selfish if not wearing a mask, are other selfish if they insist on you to wear your mask for their safety?
Had my shots and won't tell others to get the shots or not to get the shots. That is their personal choice. On the other hand, I refused to be bullied into doing something that I am not sure of. When I decided to get the shots, I did not do it for my neighbors or other shoppers at the grocery store. I did it solely so that I would not pass it on to my spouse. I (we) were told that once inoculated, we could not pass it on to others. We were told that we would not catch covid, period. Then they said that if we did catch it, we wouldn't be hospitalized. Then they said that it is possible to be hospitalized but we won't die. Then they said that even though we had the inoculation, we could pass it on to others. First they said that a positive test should result in two weeks of quarantine. Then they said ten days, and now they are suggesting five days. Hey, I get it they are learning and new things happen all the time. As someone once said "he is not flip-flopping, he's evolving."
Since we live in a FREE society, we enjoy making our own choices, and maybe our own mistakes. That's Freedom.
Do not accuse someone of being ignorant, just because they do not agree with you. Do not accuse someone of not being patriotic just because they will not do what you wish them to do.
You are not my responsibility, and neither are my neighbors. It is YOUR responsibility to protect yourself. If you do not want me to be near you when I am without a mask, then stay away from me. It is not my responsibility to avoid passing you, and not my responsibility to protect you. I followed the instructions to get vaccinated and now I do not wear a mask unless I wish to frequent a business that requires it. If you are scared of me, then stay home or run and hide when I am out and about.
When I use the word "you" I am not referring directly to the poster I am replying to, but to others in general.
