If you have the vaccine you don’t have to wear a mask right?

Question

I thought that if you had the vaccine you wouldn’t need a mask but today when I returned to college I was surprised to see that over 90 percent of people were wearing masks. I was happy because I thought that I could finally wear lipstick now lol but now I feel a bit guilty I guess I’ll have to wear a mask too even though my college doesn’t make it mandatory to wear one. I honestly don’t like how masks look on me I feel like I look so scary 😟

masks are absolutely useless when it comes to preventing viral spread. They are a gimmick, some where between a power trip for the politicians and what is called security theater i. e. something that is designed to make you feel safer but has no actual value. multiple studies have shown that (both recently and even twenty years ago).  This is all just a sham (in fact during the height of the "panedemic" our over all death rate didn't change, even the cdc admitted I think it was two thirds of all reported covid deaths where actually comorbidities i. e. some one is dying of one disease but also has another and its unclear if it had an impact or not (if you have lung cancer and you die but you had covid, they where listing that as a covid death (by the NIH and CDC own admission. With the adjusted data the death toll is in the tens of thousands, same as flu, pneumonia etc.).  I mean if you want you can wear the mask, but after delta variant their will be another and another until people finally realize this is all bullshit (some studies have come out (which I have not had the chance to revue so make of them what you will) that areas with higher vaccination rates have also seen a spike in viral cases. So its entirely possible the vaccine isn't doing what its suppose to be doing).

It turns out that the vaccine does not seem to do anything. Even the inventor of the mRNA says it increases the virus’s replication rate and the vaccinated are becoming the spreaders. In addition, masks do not do anything either; if you can smell cigarette smoke through a mask, it cannot filter aerosolized virus.

The last I checked, people die from Covid, they die from vaccine injections immediately after, and they die from Covid after receiving the vaccine. Can anyone tell me what the vaccine accomplishes? I heard it reduced symptoms only. Do we have any definitive data that the vaccine has actually saved a life independent of if they would have lived if they just caught covid and recovered naturally within the 98.8-99.8%-tile natural recovery rate, and was able to definitively conclude that without the vaccine said person would have died? No, that is impossible to determine because it is impossible to separate vaccine success from natural recovery rate success when the natural recovery rate is so high at 98.8-99.8%. How the hell can anyone determine the vaccine saved a life without the high natural recovery rate entering into it and while there remains a fairly significant death rate due to the injection itself that nullifies the potential ~0.002 gain? It is absolutely impossible, because now even if you receive the vaccine, you still get sick with all the symptoms, and are still a spreader. Say you now recover with having had the vaccine, how do you know you weren’t simply one of the 98.8-99.8% natural recovery statistics instead. There isn’t any data that can possibly be extracted that definitively proves this vaccine saved a single life. The whole thing is becoming a complete farce.

If you have the vaccine, you have not accomplished anything but just added more risk.

Unfortunately Vaccinated people have shown to have the same viral load as unvaccinated and can transmit covid to both vaccinated and unvaccinated people.

The vaccine protects you against a worse case and hopefully against a life threatening case of covid, they help the body map covid snd prey are its defenses do should you contract certain _known_ strains of covid, your army is “ready”… provided your immune system is good to go.

No version of the vaccine prevents you from contracting covid, nor prohibits you from spreading it to others, should you contract it yourself.

They also do not have full knowledge at to how efficiently it protects against unknown strains. Ex. Children seemed near exempt from covid 19 and existed thought they were basically immune. Now with the arrival of delta, they are falling ill with greater frequency and not uncommonly , as well some have died.

There is another known strain I forget the name but possibly others… best to mask up in unknown situations, in large crowds and when in doors to be safe, unless you are getting tested like every morning, 😬

The vaccine significantly reduces the possibility of death and will likely reduce the severity of symptoms and the overall time you will need to recover, but you can still contract, carry and spread the virus, that’s why it is still recommended that masks are worn. Especially since the introduction of the Delta Variant and the fact that not all people have chosen to be vaccinated and there will always be vulnerable people in our population such as the elderly and persons with compromised immune systems. Wearing a mask decreases your risk but also significantly helps protect others.
Good luck in school and stay safe!! ❤️‍🩹C

I'm fully vaccinated now. This time last year I was in a coma on life support fighting covid.

The vaccine reduces the likelihood of contracting for a second time, and if I did contract a variant it would be far less severe. Since last year I was technically dead for four hours while the medics performed CPR to revive me I'm glad to have the vaccine.

The issue is I can now be a carrier, meaning I could pass on the disease without any symptoms myself. And because of the severity I had last year, that which I pass on might kill someone.

So I continue to wear a mask. Not because I'm "afraid", and not because it was a waste of time taking the vaccine. I'm just a guy who, if I'm going to kill you would rather do it looking you in the eye...

EmbraceThePain · Answer

Well, you can possibly still get it. Also, some places still require masks despite being vaccinated. I’m vaccinated and don’t have an issue wearing the masks, since they do not bother me at all. Now, many people get all sorts of problems from extensive mask wearing. I think it depends on where you are, specifically your state and the local laws around you regarding wearing masks if you’re vaccinated.

Tunasub · Answer

They way things are playing out I would and do wear a mask if I'm out at a store or where there is a group of people.

Would you rather be sick or possibly worse or look scary. Don't jeopardize yourself or anyone else because of your vanity.

This virus isn't going anywhere anytime soon but it would be more than awesome if we all were here long after this is under control or eradicated.

Still-alive · Answer

Its still recommended you wear one because of that Delta Variant going around now. Thanks to anti vaxxers spreading their misinformation a ton of people refuse to get vaccinated so we could not achieve herd immunity so now variations mutations of the virus are allowed to flourish. However the vaccine is still like 90% effective even against the Delta Variant.

so yeah wear it to feel safer, but its not required yet

Lippime123 · Answer

Reading through these replies, I can only slap my face at the amount of “hoax” claims and “government propaganda”.

Think of the virus as a glass of water and the vaccine as a cordial. The vaccine interacts with the virus, changing it into something “sweeter” and less deadly to yourself. Wearing a mask is like putting a cap over the glass so it doesn’t spill.

Yes, you can still spill your water even with a cap, and no, the cordial doesn’t make the water disappear. It’s all preventative measures.

Masks are absolutely useless! Keep being sheep and do what you are told and the Biden Administration  will keep the southern border open with all the people with COVID-19 coming in.

Lliam · Answer

People who have gotten the jab (it's not a vaccine according to the medical and legal definitions) are probably more likely to be infectious than those who haven't.

That being said, it's been proven in many highly credible studies that masks are ineffective in preventing transmission of viruses. They are also both physically and psychologically harmful. Masks were a deliberate scam from the very beginning. And they are still being used as a psychological weapon.

SnakeBoop · Answer

Regardless of vaccines...

serious · Answer

Well I think it depends from country to country. In USA and UK I think wearing masks are no longer mandatory, especially in UK where all the restrictions are removed.

It would depend on number of covid 19 cases and how well the country is doing in their vaccination programme.

In my country restrictions are still there because a large percentage of population is yet to be vaccinated.

bannacookies · Answer

Unfortunately the vaccine isn't working as well as it's supposed to because a lot of people are pretending to be vaccinated & are going places without their masks and because of that covid spreading like wildfire, least where I am it is. So to prevent that, all people must wear masks or at least they right now to prevent sickness spreading to the young who cannot get vaccinated yet because they're too young.

DWornock · Answer

There is nothing you can do about ignorant people that belief wearing a typical mask has any benefit. I have yet to wear a mask. and, in my city, I have not been challenged. In my city, at first, most people wore masks; now no more than half wear masks.

molonski2 · Answer

DONT WEAR MASKS , unless you absolutely have to , its not mandatory , dont do it !
Masks are a massive invasion , you are young and fully vaccinated , go live you life and enjoy it , man , if it were not mandatory here , Id never wear one again.
But Asia loves masks when nothings happening.

Astarlessnightsky · Answer

From a practical standpoint, you would need hundreds of "vaccine status checkers" on campus, checking everyones vaccination status to see if they are really vaccinated or not. Thats not really feasable and so its either everyone or no one wearing a mask.

Arcreactor81 · Answer

Ya do
The vaccine doesn't make someone invincible to the virus
It still can infect you if you're not following the proper guidelines
So, I guess you'll have to do with no lipstick for now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Zeldaismyqueen · Answer

You have to wait until most of the population gets the vaccine, because even though you won't be in the hospital there is a small chance you can spread it to the unvaccinated.

jshm2 · Answer

No. You simpleton. The vaccine is to stop you getting sick from the virus, if you were to contract it. The mask and hand washing is to prevent you from contracting it.

Jennajay1719 · Answer

I know right I'm so tired of wearing masks. Where I live we have to wear them again even with vaccine :/ i just had some freedom not wearing one for awhile lol

Surely · Answer

They way that I understand this. Vaccinated people can still carry the virus with a much less chance of coming down with it.
So the experts want the vaccinated people to still wear masks to protect the ones that won’t get vaccinated!

TomBham · Answer

In UK people only recommended to wear them in crowded spaces.

But there are a lot of people, who still wear them, I don't wear it now, only worn them before as there was possibility to get a fine, if you do not wear it, in the past.

Makeushiver · Answer

You really should because not all people are protected even when vaccinated. Anyone with a compromised immune system can catch it from you even if you are asymptomatic

If you have the vaccine you don’t have to wear a mask right?
