I'm vaccinated. I haven't stopped doing anything I would normally do post vaccination, but I still wear a mask when I'm inside public spaces. The truth is the vaccine is not 100% effective. Not yet anyways. You can still get it. Yes, I know the chances of that are very small. But why even take a small chance at contributing to an even larger problem? A big reason why we keep having problems in the US is because many refuse to get vaccinated. They are starting to have a huge problem in Arkansas because not enough people are getting vaccinated. Until we stop seeing this, I'll do my part and mask up inside. It's really no big deal.

Yeah, but neither is the flu shot 100% effective.

True, it isn't. I get a flu shot every year. A few years ago I did end up getting the flu. But Covid is seemingly more dangerous than the flu. It spreads faster and easier. There is also a stronger risk of damage to your lungs. I also gotta be honest with you, I'm considering adapting mask wearing during flu season. When I got the flu it sucked. I was stuck in bed for two weeks. The first week I couldn't even move. I really don't want to go through that again. If experts say masks can help reduce transmission of the flu then I'm gonna have to seriously consider using them every winter.
