Should vaccinated people not wear face masks?

Should vaccinated people not wear face masks? No, because there is still a high
risk that you will get the virus and the vaccine is supposed to act like a low chance of
risk getting the virus. Many individuals are asking when life will return to normal as more
people become fully immunized. But, before you toss away your face masks
ceremoniously, experts advise that we'll need to keep wearing them for a little longer,
especially in public.

There is, however, some good news for individuals who have already completed
their vaccinations, but there are some restrictions. According to the CDC, fully
vaccinated persons can now safely gather indoors in small groups with other fully
vaccinated people, no mask required. However, fully vaccinated individuals should
continue to wear face masks and keep a safe distance from others in public places.
Those who have been fully vaccinated should continue to avoid medium and large
gatherings, as well as those who have not been fully vaccinated and are considered
high-risk.

While the globe waits for COVID-19 vaccines to stop the pandemic, wearing a
mask to prevent viral transmission has become more or less required around the world.
Though many people support mask use and follow public health recommendations,
other people object, claiming that wearing a mask has been forced upon them against
their will.

Regardless of municipal regulations, some people still refuse to wear a mask or

facial covering when they leave the house. To be clear, we're talking about those who,
according to the CDC, should be wearing a mask, which includes nearly all healthy
children and adults. According to the CDC, "cloth face coverings should NOT be worn
by children under the age of two or anyone who has difficulty breathing, is unconscious,
incapacitated, or otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance."

Although the vaccines are extremely efficient and the turnaround time was
nothing short of miraculous, they only provide 94 percent to 95 percent protection.
There's no way of knowing who among the 5% of people who don't respond to the
vaccine but are still at risk for COVID-19. The measles vaccination, on the other hand,
is 97 percent effective after two doses. Although the immunization campaign began in
the United States in 1963, the illness was not declared eradicated until 2000.
