I've been thinking about this since I had my first jab 3 weeks ago.emoticon pillemoticon clock

emoticon yin-yangI see many advantages in continuing to wear a face mask ~LESS pollution, less bugs leading to chest and other infections, lowering the risk of any other nasties getting in my system and finally not having to smell other peoples bad hygiene.

The disadvantages ~ facial expressions can't be seen (although this also has its positives), can't can't smell candles, new perfume etc. Saying that though it it's not compulsory this isn't really a major problem.

i will wear a face mask indoors and outdoors on certain occasions such as shops,   even after all restrictions have been lifted, because as other members have pointed out some people are anti,vaxxers and simply dont care about anyone else? for example if they spit in the street, cough all over the place and blow out noxious fumes from cigarettes etc into out faces, why will they care about anyone else. 

 i know that wearing a mask is aggrovating my eczema and rosacea, but i can live with it, as i have more serious health issues, that can be seriously affected by fumes and filthy smoke from vehicles and peoples mouths my lugs are easily affected by smoke and smells from household cleaners , perfumes, and candles

Well I have to say I wasn’t all that bothered at the beginning wearing a mask, but as times gone on I must say it’s become more and more difficult. I have regular hospital appointment and a lately I have been having a lot of back trouble, well 2 slip discs to be exact 🙄 but having to wear a mask while having an mri scan omd 😜 it was awful it’s bad enough as I’m sure most of you know having to wear a head brace while being put in a tunnel without having to wear a masks too I really thought I was going to suffocate!!! Also if you suffer from hay fever forget it lol 😂

I will most definitely continue to wear my mask after the 2nd dose and follow the guide lines. This virus is going no where. It is here to stay with us  for a very long time. Although you are protected after the vaccine, there is no guarantee that you will not catch it again, and if you do, it might be in a less sever form. Again, it depends on one's age. Over 70's may be worse affected than under 50s. After all, you are only asked to wear masks in the shops, bars restaurants and where there is gathering of 6 or more people. So yes, I will obey the guide lines and wear my mask. I am 77 and I would rather be safe than sorry. I agree that you do need to breath fresh air, so when you are out and about in a field or a rural area you can walk without a mask if you want. Each one is free to do what they want, Wear it if you want to be safe, and don't wear it if you think you are protected enough after the vaccine. But think of others that you can pass it on to, with your breathed out particles that linger in the air and can be breathed in by a passer by. Stay safe and protect lives

I have NOT and I will NOT be getting any of the vaccines. I have done extensive research on them and do not feel they are safe. I will continue to wear a face mask if I am required to, otherwise no.

Per the CDC there are nearly twice as many vaccine related deaths SO FAR in 2021 (1755 to date) than all the vaccine death this past decade (994).

I think EVERYONE should do their own due diligence PRIOR to getting this experimental vaccine injected into their bodies.  The side effects/affects are horrible as well.  Start with the CDC and VAERS--go from there, your health depends on YOU watching out for yourself!  The media and pharma will NOT be honest. JMHO!

@mr chipps  Being an anti vaxxer, as you put it, has NOTHING to do with not caring about anyone else.  I simply did my research and am choosing NOT to get the vaccine. No animals survived the trials on these vaccines and that is the first time EVER, yet they still released a vaccine knowing this.  I'm sorry but in my opinion, its wrong for you to accuse someone of not being caring just because we refuse to put experimental poison in our bodies. Not to mention it is NOT approved by the FDA!

@rgylesocks according to the research, you can still come down with it and infect others--even after the vaccines.

@VICKICOFFEY‍... You're welcome to have your own reasons and thoughts but don't run other people down, as well as the media and pharmacies, and make sure your research is correct. No one is accusing you and the vaccines are not 'poison' as you put it. 

Just remember who you might be infecting due to not having the vaccine. At least with the vaccine one has more chance of not catching Covid and/or being affected with it as badly.

I am waiting for my 2nd vaccination and will continue to follow all safety and health measures, both now and in the future.

If the vaccine was 'poison' my GP and Neurologist would not have recommended it either.

Have a pleasant day.

Can I just point out to those who say were selfish for not having the vaccine at the end of the day it's a personal choice and the people who have it I dont know why you say about non vaccers because as long as you think you've been protected why worry about it because the ones who dont have it are the ones who might or not get I'll and you who have had the vaccine can still spread it so were more at risk than you so accept peoples decisions as were people not sheep well some of us.

I know that there are advantages and disadvantages to wearing face coverings, but i will not be wearing mine after i've had my second vaccine as i have been having to use my inhaler more since we had to start wearing them as they trigger my asthma due to my nose and mouth being covered, which i hate.

i had to order a new inhaler when i reordered my antidepressants due to having to wear a face mask. i'm just glad that i don't have to wear it outside though as that would be too much for me as i struggle having to wear one on the bus or in shops.

i'll be glad when we don't have to wear them full stop as i hate my nose and mouth being covered as it makes it more difficult for me to breathe. also not being able to visit my best friend and meet her beautiful lil girl. i haven't even been able to visit my middle sis, youngest nephew and brother-in-law (my middle sister's partner and their two sons dad.

myself and my fiance are hoping to got and visit his older brother in june as long as we can travel and we need a break and we haven't see him and his partner since the first day that we met her, which was over 7 years ago as there's only a few days between me and my fiance meeting each other and his older brother and his partner  meeting as they met about a weel or so before we met.
