I think that, if one has been fully vaccinated with one if the mRNA vaccines, then masks are largely optional.

If you’re frequently exposed to many others in close quarters, especially if they are particularly likely to be Covid infected - e.g. you’re a health care worker, or you live in Mississppi :-) - then you should wear a mask. But in ordinary life in a state that is making good vaccination progress and is not having a Covid surge, maskless is fine.

I’m personally still carrying a N95, KN95 or KN94 mask with me, and wear it if I’m going to be indoors in a crowded place, then I’ll wear it. But otherwise I’m not wearing a mask much.

If you’re likely to not be well protected by vaccination - genuinely immunocompromised, say - then I’d mask up more.

If you’re especially vulnerable or medically fragile, or if getting Covid would be pretty catastrophic - e.g. no medical insurance, etc - then I’d consider masking up more.

If a new variant proves vaccine-evading, or if data shows that vaccine protection declines before boosters are available, or other situations, then I’d re-assess.
