Masks work. I don't dispute that. I just don't want to wear one for the rest of my life. I don't want my government telling me what to wear.

I got vaccinated months ago because I thought that would be the end of masks. That was the entire point of vaccinating: not needing a mask because the virus could do nothing to you. The vaccination rate in my country is almost 80% and we still have a mask mandate. I will not even consider taking a booster until they do away with the mask.

While I agree with your general sentiment, saying "I will not even consider taking a booster until they do away with the mask" seems like cutting off your nose to spite your face. Wouldn't you want to get a booster just to lower your risk of getting a potentially severe illness?

That is not necessary because I'm forced to wear a mask. If we are forced to wear masks, it's because masks work. Right?

On the other hand, I fell ill for an entire day after taking the second dose, and I refuse to go through that again.
