Yepppppppp. I always wear a mask indoors. It's not that big a deal, I'd rather protect retail workers or whoever else I interact with.
I made myself a bunch of super cute masks last year too.

For those fully vaccinated already, do you still wear a mask?

I'm in Texas, so like the vaccinated Floridians, YES. The only time I may not wear one in public is if I'm outside where it's not overly crowded.
I would still prefer not getting covid. So, yeah, if I am in doors in public places, absolutely.
With a daughter too young to be vaccinated, I've been wearing a mask without any breaks when going anywhere outside aside from walks around the neighbourhood, even when the city lifted the mask mandate for a few months so our numbers could skyrocket, before quickly reinstating it.
Yep! I don't wear one outside, or on the occasions when I'm over at someone's house (not very often these days, admittedly). But if I'm going into a business? All the time. It's city policy, so there's not really any getting around it.
If a indoor place says wear a mask, I will wear it.
Subway rides, now and forever.
Outdoors, it comes off.

I need one for work and Philly still has a mandate for business, so mostly yes. Typically take it off during walks.
I have to wear a mask at work and when I'm out at stores where I live. Anytime I'm not required to wear one though, I don't.
Outside of employees, I'm honestly often the only person wearing a mask inside Walmart or wherever in my small Missouri town.
So honestly sometimes I don't because I don't feel like getting the weird looks that day.
My wife and I are both vaxxed + boostered though.

Yup only to public places like the store or transit. It doesn't bother me with the exception of my glasses fogging up, and I always laugh at people bitching about how their "Freedoms are being silenced" by having to wear one.
yeah, I don't want to bring anything home to my newborn. Little kid hasn't even had her vaccinations yet.
When inside a business? Yes
When outside in outdoor seating at a brewery or restaurant? No
When indoors at work? No*
*Work recently switched to only vaccinated people may enter the building. Vendors and visitors can only come up to the outdoor waiting area. Non-vaccinated employees must provide proof of being tested weekly plus they cannot come into the office.

I saw No Time To Die on Tuesday, and since I didn't buy any food and it was nice and cool in the theater I just kept my mask on the whole time, even though I had a whole row to myself. When I got up to leave I saw the dozen or so people in the two rows behind me were all maskless.
Only places I don't wear it outside of my house are the gym and my workplace, since both places will only have about 5 people there at most and they're spacious locations.
I've been fully vaccinated since late-April. I always wear a mask whenever I leave the house. I'll take it off when I'm at my (vaccinated) friends' place, but other than that, it basically stays on. I'm high risk, most of the people I love the most are high risk, and I split my time between a red state shithole and a Canadian city where there are stringent mask requirements. I just keep doing it because it's easier for my ADHD ass to do something when it's a habit.
Also, I mean, I don't want to drown in my own lung juice. So there's that.

Yes, of course. I can still carry it and there are plenty of older people, younger people, and immunocompromised people that need our help wearing masks because they can't get the jab.
Wearing the mask is such an absolutely trivial non-issue. It's like, the easiest thing in the universe to do to help prevent the spread of a deadly global pandemic and I feel like everyone on all sides grows so short tempered with it - just makes me realize how good off we all actually have it. How can a simple mask cause you so much discomfort that you'll risk lives?
Like, don't get me wrong - I'm not wearing it outside when working out, or on a bar patio, or with close friends. But if I'm going inside a business with strangers, it takes one second and it's fine. And I'm far from the epitome of health, and we have 100+ degree summers so it's not always comfortable - but it's not that awful

Yes. For my kid, just in case my vaccine starts to wear off, and also as a courtesy to the people around me.
At a glance, you can't tell if a stranger not wearing a mask in public is a vaccinated person, a person who just doesn't care enough to keep their mask on, or is an antivax nutjob. I feel like just wearing a mask is probably better for the peace of mind of those around me.

Fully vaxxed - will get booster soon.. Working from home for good, if I'm running into a non-crowded store for a few minutes no mask just distance. We tend to go out to eat once a week and off hours so no mask. I tended to stay away from crowds before COVID but if I had to mask all the way...
When I'm indoors in public or taking public transportation yea
Outdoors (even with large crowds) no (fully vaxxed and with booster)

Why would you not wear a mask? A vaccine simply reduces the risk, your are not bulletproof. A mask is such a minor inconvenience.
Inside, always because no 'office sniffles' . Outside, always since the benefits of not having seasonal allergies are way too good to give up. When, in my case at least, the risk of being miserable with head colds and sickness turns into a literal choice, why choose to be sick? My reason for wearing a mask has long since evolved beyond covid (still helps tho).
Also it's getting cold and masks are warm and comfy.

I almost had that "well I'm fully vaccinated so don't think I need a mask" phase, but then I remembered I live in Florida. I don't trust other Floridians.
