11 Reasons to Keep Wearing a Mask After You’re Vaccinated and the Pandemic is “Over”

1. You 100% do not want to get Covid-19.
2. You are immunocompromised. Millions of people have immune conditions that make contracting Covid-19 much more dangerous for them.
3. You’re traumatized from “the mental and emotional toll of the last year”.
4. Because you need to be around people you suspect may not be vaccinated or taking Covid-19 seriously (e.g. as part of your job).
5. You’re not feeling well and want to make sure to protect others around you.
6. Because you want to signal to others that you are being safe and thinking of the health and wellness of those around you.
7. You live in a household with unvaccinated people (kids, for example) and want to make sure to protect them.
8. Because your personal risk tolerance is lower than other people’s.
9. You need some time to feel comfortable enough taking your mask off around others after more than a year of that very behavior being dangerous.
10. Because you want to.
11. But mostly because it is NONE OF ANYONE’S GODDAMN CONCERN if you choose to keep wearing a mask. Fuck off! Mind your own business!
