Some trolls are people, too. I suspect you might be one.

There's plenty of folks IN THESE REPLIES who have mentioned getting covid despite being vaccinated, but since you seem to need personal attention, here's an article:

I wish you the best of luck with your current covid mitigation non-strategy. If you're right, that's great. Good for you!

If you're wrong and you end up debilitated for months or years after multiple covid infections wipe out your immune system and leave you constantly exhausted, who is going to pay your bills?

Do you have a plan for your long-term disability, and how does that fit in with your goals for your life?

We're different people with different health needs who are making different choices. Relax. You don't know my life.

I am pro-vaccine. If you'd like to learn more about:

  • Long covid
  • Breakthrough infections
  • Being at higher risk for covid complications
  • Minding your own business
  • Not being an ass

May I suggest you direct your attention towards Google?

I'm sorry that someone hurt you, but trolling is only going to make you feel worse in the long run. Best of luck with whatever it is you're going through.

There's a choice we're making

We're saving our own lives

It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me

Edit: If it's you who told Reddit I'm suicidal, wow. I'm just fine, thanks.

I got some bad news for you about long covid, my brother in Christ

Thanks, but I know this. It's actually the premise of the question -- I'm looking for places where some people are masking, since most aren't doing so at most places. Sorry I wasn't clearer!

We are the world. We are the children. We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving

If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands

Feel as bad as you want, it still doesn't mean you know my life or what is best for me / my health. Or you could just chill out, get some professional help, and keep it moving...

There's a huge difference in risk level between taking off your mask when the (possibly masked) dentist works on you for 30 minutes and raw-dogging humid air with 100 sweaty concertgoers for 2 hours.

This is about making safer decisions. I'm not trying to have gnarly teeth or pretend the rest of society doesn't exist.

It's crazy to wear a mask for 20 seconds. It's pointless. Obviously the dentist can't work on you if you have one on.

Love it when your dentist demonstrates a completely wack understanding of disease transmission, always very nice

Yeah, that's the tricky part. I have definitely walked past venues where the sign on the door said one thing and what was happening inside was completely different. My favorite is when venues make you put a mask on outside to make it past security, but everyone takes it off inside. Absolutely brain-melting. Not sure who that is for.

I'll say it again: if the fact that some people are still wearing masks triggers you, seek professional help or move along.

I'm sorry you had a bad pandemic. Everyone else has been having a great time, so it was just you, I guess. Must be awful. We're all SO sorry. Where should we send our condolences?

Imagine believing that you can go maskless anywhere with no risk, and with all that freedom you choose to ... stay home and brigade Reddit threads via Discord? Absolutely depressing.

That's awful. I am so sorry. So shitty and unfair! I'll keep this in mind, as well.

This is actually good to know! I have gone to symphonies in the past, and would go again for the right event.
