Can I stop wearing a mask after getting a COVID-19 vaccine?

Can I stop wearing a mask after getting a COVID-19 vaccine? 

No. For a couple reasons, masks and social distancing will still be recommended for some time after people are vaccinated.

  1. Just read in the local Democrat paper that the Athens/Clarke County, Georgia school system is looking at return to classrooms for high schoolers in third quarter next year.

    1. I live i an adjacent county, Walton, and our kids went back in August. Of course our county voted 75% Republican.

  2. Noticed no mention of herd immunity the old fashion way...

    1. Based on numbers, we should be getting pretty close to it very soon. Just let these increased cases do their thing and by the time the vaccine is shipped to all four corners, it won't be necessary.

    2. What numbers? I'm seeing ~70% population post infection to hit herd immunity. I see no numbers anywhere near that. "...let these increased cases do their thing..." yup, but what if your granny/mom/kiddo is in those increased cases? Not trolling, just curious about how concerned you are, and ... What numbers?

  3. Assuming all stops were pulled to allow fast tracking of vaccines vs Normal health guidelines, the failure rate is probably considerably greater than 90 or 94% effective (Otherwise there would be no justification for a normal 2 year development approval process).
    I'd guess they are actually just throwing a plurality of corona viruses together & hoping immunity developed as a result. Which is why we have "Your symptoms may or may not be..."
    Compare it to when they depopulate chicken barns (concentrated, possibly immune deficient) but also hunt down free range (not likely immune compromised) birds in the area.

  4. Just down the road in Gwinnett county, Georgia we have been split between digital learning and in-school learning since the beginning of the year. About half elementary and high school students are attending classes and about 60% of middle school students are attending class. We are expecting a surge of in-school students after the Christmas break.

    BTW: there is no social distancing on a school bus.

  5. Whose policing people walking in the store with a mask on who continually touches their mask, ten touches the merchandise in the store? Door handles to the frozen food and produce section. Sticking their hands into grapes to sample. Witnessed a man opening up a carton of Chicken Alfredo in the deli section. He sampled the chicken, decided he didn't like it and put it back into the deli case. Saw a woman with several cartons of strawberries opened up in front of her and she was picking out the ones she wanted from the other strawberry cartons. Tell me again how a mask is protecting any of us! I did say something to store personnel, but I think I will no longer say anything when I see it going on. I'll take care of myself and you all pay attention to what's going on around you and AVOID the offense.

    1. Hallelujah and Amen, Brother!
      They hazard rate of any vaccine is higher than the fatality rate of CV19. But catching any corona virus and recovering, orders of magnitude higher proction than any mask.

    2. Ah a naysayer I see :). Let me explain to you the functions of masks in today's society. It's to give the general, snowflake population the (false) sense of security and the elected morons a sense that they're doing something for their constituents so they gotta get voted back in right? Right?

    3. Partly. Masks have been used throughout history to depersonalize and muzzle slaves. We are having our individuality stripped away layer by layer.

    4. "We are having our individuality stripped away layer by layer."

      All for the good of the State, comrade. Individuality is contrary to the collective good.

  6. Precedent has been set. From now on, every time there is an epidemic of the sniffles going around the cry will be to "mask up"

  7. From the fifth paragraph in the linked story:
    * 'It is not known whether the vaccine protects people from infection...'
