I have issues breathing through the mask right now because of some invasive testing on my heart...but the more that I hear about the new info from the medical community that now they are seeing the fully vaccinated able to spread the viral load.. even though I am protected, I refuse to put others at risk for my own personal comfort.
I can wear a mask in a store and take it off as soon as I get out and distanced from others. It is not an imposition on my personal rights.. but a duty to my fellow citizens who walk beside me, who have children, relatives with organ transplants, elderly whose shots are beginning to wane etc etc. I could not sleep at night if I thought I was putting others at risk for something as simple as not wearing a mask for a few minutes
I do not understand how we became so selfish, that we cannot give an inch to help another live.

that vaxxed people can be just as much of a danger
to others as the unvaxxed.
