I didn't say any place is. I got vaccinated so that IF anyone questions my decision to not wear a mask, I have a very valid answer explaining why I'm not.
Or you could just say you already had Covid and was a mild case, which is better than a vaccine. I'm done pandering to people.
Better yet, just tell them to mind their damn business. Not wearing a mask shouldn't require an excuse or rationalization.
Normally, I'm a live and let live kind of person. But, this idea of wearing a mask AFTER you've been vaccinated is just mind-boggling levels of dumb.
And I really hate the fact that so many people automatically jump to the conclusion that if you don't wear a mask it's because you're a "Covid-denier" or selfish and don't care about getting anyone else sick.
I'm more than happy to say to anyone who questions why I'm not wearing a mask that it's because I've been poked. That kind of stupidity deserves to be called out.
On a side note, there is a specific travel forum I use, and when I was browsing it over the weekend, I (unfortunately) clicked on one of the threads about trips to CA. People were wondering if CA was going to open up to tourists anytime soon.
So, someone from CA commented and said "I don't think 'open' in CA is what you think it is." This poster went on to say that they had traveled to Disney World in Florida and were talking to people they met there about the restrictions that are still in place in CA, and the people they met were "shocked".
This poster and others then went on to criticize the FL governor for being irresponsible and praise the CA governor for doing the right thing.
The absolutely hypocrisy of someone who TRAVELS to FL to enjoy something because that same thing is CLOSED in CA only to criticize the leadership in FL for being irresponsible for opening things up just blows my mind. The mental gymnastics it takes to justify that is just crazy. And before anyone asks, no, I didn't comment back. I don't have it in me today to get in a fight on an anonymous message board (so I posted here instead).
