CDC says we can take off our masks. Why some people aren't ready


The official word came: If you're vaccinated, you can finally ditch your mask in most settings. One might expect the announcement to be met with waves of relief and an immediate shift in behavior. For some there was.
But others remain quietly hesitant – even though it's safe, they don't want to take off their masks yet.
According to new guidelines released Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, fully vaccinated Americans don’t need to wear a mask, even indoors, except in crowded settings like airplanes, buses and health care facilities.
Masks have offered safety during unprecedented times. They were also divisive and often signaled to which political group you belonged, with studies showing that Republicans were less likely than Democrats to wear or believe in the efficacy of masks.

Last week, the official word came: If you're vaccinated, you can finally ditch your mask in certain social settings. One might expect the announcement to be met with waves of relief and an immediate shift in behavior. For some there was.
But others remain quietly hesitant — even though it's safe, they don't want to take off their masks yet.

'Wearing a mask was one of the only forms of agency' during the pandemic
Normalcy was shattered when the pandemic hit. The pandemic robbed us of control: We couldn't control when we'd be able to return to our workplaces, when our children would be able to attend in-person school, when we'd be able to safely hug loved ones or when we'd resume gathering in large groups. At the start of the pandemic, with so many unknowns, it seemed we couldn't even control whether we contracted the virus.
Then experts began recommending masks. Finally, we had agency. 
"In the last year, we haven't had much control, both in terms of the vaccine rollouts or testing done early in the pandemic or sending kids to school. But what everyone can actually control is putting that mask on," says Peter Chin-Hong, an infectious disease specialist in San Francisco.
