As it happens, I was for a while the only person at work who still
masked*, work in this case being live theatre in facilities with up
to 700 people. Coincidentally, I am also the only person on staff
who has not caught covid. For a while there, a significant fraction
of my shifts were me subbing for sick people.

So? I'm not vaccinated and most people I know who are, have gotten corona 2-3 times more often than I have. Sweden proved scientifically, that the best way to handle corona was without masks and without restrictions and without forced vaccinations.
