If you’re vaccinated, how will it affect you?
From the NYT The Morning Newsletter on January 18th 2021:
“If there is an example of a vaccine in widespread clinical use that has this selective effect — prevents disease but not infection — I can’t think of one!” Dr. Paul Sax of Harvard has written in The New England Journal of Medicine. (And, no, exclamation points are not common in medical journals.) On Twitter, Dr. Monica Gandhi of the University of California, San Francisco, argued: “Please be assured that YOU ARE SAFE after vaccine from what matters — disease and spreading.”

Yes you are vaccinated. Your odds of getting the virus are low. And even if you did contract it the odds of it being severe are minuscule. It’s hard to get out of the Covid mindset. I’m trying to but it’s strange after living in fear for a year plus!
So wear a mask? There's really nothing else to it.
You can still wear a mask if you choose to. I don’t see the problem here.
I’m planning my wedding for this fall. We’re going mask less but are requesting everyone to be either vaccinated or show proof of a negative Covid test from 72 hours prior.
If you feel uncomfortable going maskless, then I would skip the wedding. I went to a maskless 150 person wedding in March but 95% of the guests were vaccinated and we all got tested on site and the entire wedding party tested negative. We wore masks when not at wedding related events.
I know every situation is different, but we had no issues with that wedding. Of course if anyone wants to wear a mask at my wedding they are more than welcome to, but we will not be mandating masks.
I have 2 more weddings in the next month. Neither of them ask for masks but ask for proof of vaccination or negative Covid test
LOL Morgan Stanley.
Although I must say, the wedding happened and nobody died!
People need to move on with their lives. Enough with the paranoia already!!
People most definitely will NOT be careful if alcohol is involved.
It is their wedding. I would say if you feel uncomfortable you shouldn’t go. I went to one last Oct and a woman at my table ruined the wedding for the mother of the bride. She wore 3 masks and continued to order the wedding staff around to accommodate her. She even yelled at me and everyone at our table a few times. Made her daughter cry when she pulled up her mask to take answer a question we had. We traveled far to be able to support my friend and her daughter. No one got Covid. Just don’t go. Safety can’t be guaranteed.
Vaccinated people are still getting the Rona. Look at the New Your Yankees. You should stay home
I am surprised that OP was comfortable with the risks entailed in getting the vaccine, given there is zero data about the long-term (> 1 yr) effects of high jacking your cells to make foreign spike proteins instead of what they would otherwise have been doing.
You get over it.
Allow people to make their own decision if masks are right for them. If you’re too scared, stay home.
You’re overthinking it. Let them have the wedding the way they want, it isn’t about you.
Mask does it become part of an attire, official, casual . Or should it be a style or a some thing that you wear as a protection ...much like we wear a helmet when you ride a motorcycle or wear eye protection when your welding....
Is this English?
You don’t. You find new friends.
Are we going to the same wedding? I get that it’s probably fine but I wish they were at least mandating tests for unvaccinated guests. I really don’t see the harm in making your guests more comfortable
True! Everyone has the option not to go. But then the couple gets bummed they get a ton of cancellations. Part of hosting an event is considering your guests. You want them to remember the wedding as a good time not an annoying obligation that they wish they had skipped.
Send me your address so I can send an Amazon gift card .
Stay home if you don’t feel safe. Not your wedding
I wouldn’t go to a large wedding right now, full stop. Masks or otherwise.
You don’t seem like the type that people invite too often anyways.
Lol.
You don’t. You find new friends.
Yes
You rsvp as not attending. Unless there’s an option to mark “I don’t think this is safe.”
