>>13157453Are you around people besides your family? If so, that increases your risk of both getting and spreading SARS-CoV-2. Also, breakthrough infections seem more common in the elderly, which makes sense considering their immune systems aren't as robust. They're still likely to be well protected even if they are infected, but you're still increasing the risk by not getting vaccinated.
I've been on the fence too. I'm not yet vaccinated, but my state lifted the mask mandate, and the majority of people I know who shed their masks are unvaccinated co-workers who are extremely active socially (flying out of state, going to restaurants multiple times per week, etc). I find it kind of ironic that the U.S. government was trying to place pressure on the unvaccinated to get vaccinated, but the few it may convince are the ones who were very low risk to be spreaders anyway (like myself, my only real exposure is at work in an office, and I wear a respirator all day), and the people who are very high risk of getting and spreading infection will never get vaccinated.
