Vaccinated people may transmit Delta variant just as easily as unvaccinated

Also when will y'all understand that covid is not a "mild cold" and that we don't even fully understand its full ramifications yet? My god it's like we've been living in different worlds for the past 2 years. 

I suspect people will be permanently disabled cause of long covid. Imagine wanting to risk that.

I fail to see how this thread is funny??? What is wrong with some of you? 

It’s always the same one or two people that think it’s funny until this s*** affects them directly. Then they’ll post a sob-story all over the internet looking for pity because they got sick out of reckless behavior. Ignore/Mute them; they’re not worth anyone’s time.

Selfish AND ignorant ok werk

100% selfish & 100% informed. I am fully aware of the effectiveness of the vaccine. I was the first person to get vaccinated from my family, friends, coworkers and even aqcuitances. I have followed every single guideline but I draw the line at protecting people who have refused to get vaccinated. I also know there are people that can't get vaccinated like children or immunocompromised individuals. However, I do not interact with either at all with either group. 

It is a fact that if you are vaccinated and get breakthrough infected. Your symptoms are milder because of the vaccine and the risk of hospitalization is miniscule.

so having some kind of protection on your face = living in fear
but walking without it, expose to everything around with a chance of getting or spreading a deadly virus is chill and cool to you?

It's chill and cool to me because such virus is not deadly if you are vaccinated like I am.

Stop spreading ignorant misinformation and wear your f*cking mask 

You might want to consider that the rules and measures are different in every country, as well as - quite surprisingly - the scientific insights and advice by the respectable outbreak management teams. For example, in my country, the government and its experts kept repeating for months that masks won't do much at all.

And you still spread the virus to others (you have no way of always knowing who's really antivaxx and who's simply not able to take it +  older people or people with health problems can still get severely hit by the virus even when vaccinated) plus you're contributing to possibly birthing new and more resitant variants that could f*ck us over even more. It's a literal MASK, get a grip. The longer y'all keep acting like that, the worse things will get for everyone including yourself.

Why are anti-mask people so dramatic geez

Yeah and those people (unvaccinated for personal or medical reasons) should not be out exposing themselves in a pandemic PERIOD it is their responsibility to protect themselves not mine. 

We all know the biggest challenge against covid is unvaccinated people not vaccinated people who don't wear mask. Get a grip

Think of the kids who can't get vaccinated people please! Listen to what @SamanthaC said

They're the biggest challenge, not the only one. You're part of the problem but okay keep acting childish and irresponsible.

you know that there are other people who are not or can't be vaccinated and you can kill them by spreading the virus? lmao

so selfish

also, how many people got the new variant after the vaccine? not enough to be sure nothing is going to happen to you

It's not just about the unvaccinated, We still need some protective measures to limit the risk of bringing about a variant that's resistant to the vaccines. You can already see it with Delta, The vaccines that were developed with previous strains are less effective against that variant.

With more and more countries opening up and removing restrictions cases are rising, thankfully the vaccine is helping with the number of hospitalizations but with each case there is a risk of a serious mutation.

Nobody's saying you have to bunker down until everything goes away but we can't pretend the pandemic is over just because we're vaccinated, The least we can do to protect everyone is continue to sanitize our hands and wear a mask in public while we wait for the rest of the world to catch up in their vaccination progress. It's not a vaccinated vs antivax issue, we are all at risk until then and should be doing our part so we don't end up back at square one.
