Physician viewpoint: Why vaccine recipients should still wear masks
Becker's Hospital Review ^ | January 14, 2021 | Katie Adams

People who receive a COVID-19 vaccine should continue to wear a mask and practice social distancing after their first and second dose, according to Indiana physician Mandy Armitage, MD.

Patients should continue to follow COVID-19 safety protocols after receiving their first vaccine dose as it is possible they could get sick with the disease in between doses, Dr. Armitage wrote in an article for prescription discount company GoodRx's website.

Dr. Armitage also wrote that while COVID-19 vaccines are expected to be effective, they're not infallible and it usually takes recipients' bodies at least a few weeks to gain immunity after they receive a vaccine.

"Experts still aren't sure if the vaccines will prevent spread of the infection. The vaccine studies looked at how well the vaccines prevented symptomatic disease, but not asymptomatic infections or transmission," she wrote. "In other words, if you're vaccinated, you are more likely to be protected from severe disease, but you could still carry it and pass it along to others."

I’m pretty sure there has been NO evidence of asymptomatic people spreading this disease.

I thought it was proven that asymptomatic people cannot spread the virus.

Then why bother getting the vaccine? But then, you’ll still have to wear a mask going into stores and such.

NO surprise to me. I’ve had so many people tell me, “Just be patient. Things will get back to ‘normal’ when we get a vaccine.” I tell them, “Don’t count on it. Our rulers will simply come up with new excuses to maintain their control over us.”

“People who receive a COVID-19 vaccine should continue to wear a mask “

For F’s sake. So what was the point of the vaccine in the first place?

It’s not a mask, it’s a muzzle.

It’s also a petri dish that you’re wearing right over your air passages.

"Why vaccine recipients should still wear masks""

Because we are still implementing communism so we need your strict cooperation.

This physician should take the Covid 19 vax, and STHU. Perhaps tha vax will destroy his health/ life, there is no way that his ignorance should be able to destroy the life/ health of others.

Only the beginning. Next the “scientists” will have you carry around “lucky charms” to ward off evil viruses, chant political slogans, send money to them to purchase potions to use in secret ceremonies, etc.
