of course - if one stays home no need for mask. If one lives in area with low case (or sickness) rates and high vaccination rates less need for mask. If one lives in a place like we do with minimal masking, people not social distancing, government rules prohibiting any safety requirements, hospitals full with COVID patients, unvaccinated dying at much higher rates than vaccinated then some of us will opt in to the mask. I don’t want to be even a little sick. Breakthrough infections very rare and deaths from breakthrough rarer yet. No vaccine is going to be perfect.
