'Since America has not reached herd immunity and the virus is so contagious, we feel it judicious and within our rights to wear a mask,' Jade Wu writes for CNNOpinion. 'And we shouldn't be shamed for it.'

Jade Wu is an attorney, former overseas aid worker and the author of"Flash Points: Lessons Learned and Not Learned in Malawi, Kosovo, Iraq, and Afghanistan," published by State University of New York Press. Follow her on Twitter: @jadewu1776. The views expressed here are her own. Read more opinion at CNN.

"You're paranoid!" A relative shouted at me over the phone when I told her three months ago that I wear a mask in public even though I'm vaccinated. Jade Wu"You don't need to wear that anymore," a friend stated confidently last month, pointing at my mask during a visit at his house. He has had his Covid-19 vaccine but mixes, unmasked, with both the vaccinated and the unvaccinated."Why are you still wearing a mask?" another friend inquired of me irritably at a picnic last month where both vaccinated and unvaccinated were in attendance. We were sitting less than 3 feet apart.

Opinion Ah says use gat dat 60 miles by 2000 mile migration path 4 da herd a bison or we's unleashin' the monarchs an wight whare dey was bafour

Opinion I'm not wearing a mask or getting a vax. Stop trying to shame me...FUGGIN HYPOCRATS!!!!

Opinion Actually no one is shaming you for wearing mask, it’s actually us that are being forced to wear one. You do you, and let us do us.

Opinion And Since this Virus is so contagious, we feel it necessary to CLOSE THE SOUTHERN BORDER! 10% of the illegals coming into America at a rate of 100,000 per month has tested positive for COVID!

Opinion Go for it. Don’t shame us for not wearing one. Yet the left can’t see past their own mask.

Opinion

Opinion Time to drop the masks

Opinion Wait. No, stop - just stop. Just for a second. Please. Did I just read the term 'Herd Immunity'?. HERD IMMUNITY!?!. As in a herd of cattle?. Not 'community immunity' or 'social immunity' or even 'group immunity'. But 'HERD immunity'. Just wow.

Opinion Herd immunity is a carrot 🥕

Opinion I understand that the Pfizer vaccine loses effectiveness after 6 months. Since I got vaxed in February, I may be as vulnerable to the vaccine as the unvaxed as of this month. So you better believe I'm wearing a mask wherever I go! Don't like it? Tough shit!

Opinion Eat me 🤬

Opinion Wear the mask please, Then, you can save a human life.

Opinion Poor choice of picture. That mask is now contaminated. Face palm

Opinion This is the truth

Opinion Then don’t shame the rest of us for not wearing one!

Opinion The percentage of breakthrough cases cited in the article is questionable, as The CDC tracks only extreme breakthrough cases. Given that, though I'm vaccinated I wear a mask outdoors in populated areas & indoors at public places. And I'm vaccinated.

Opinion Nah long as y'all can say sumthin about me not being vaccinated I can pop my shit wit my chest

world_news_eng Opinion America may not have reached herd immunity,but it certainly has reached herd stupidity.

Opinion

Opinion What is the reason you are ashamed to wear a mask? I can't understand. Thank you

Opinion 'as I reach up to adjust my face covering, remembering that I am protecting everyone around me as well as myself.' - Jade Wu As you reach up to contaminate your face covering? Good job protecting everyone, Jade, you're MURDERING everyone!!!!!!!!!!

Opinion Good and we won’t wear ours and be shamed not to wear one either 🖕masks don’t stop anything.

Opinion I'm vaccinated and wear a mask. I do it voluntarily. We can still transmit to those who might be at risk. Do it out of compassion and kindness. ♥️

Opinion Didn’t the CDC say the vackscene doesn’t even stop transmission..So when you factor that out, they’re begging us to take a shot for an illness that has a 99.8+% chance of surviving if you’re under 70 and no comorbidities. Given the available treatments, it’s not even worth it.

Opinion This is a great idea since the mask is a first line of defense and it has been working in preventing the spread of the virus. Wear a Mask and Save a Life.

Opinion Also, please note that the mask is not intended to save you from the spread of others, but to prevent you from spreading the virus to them. For whatever reason everyone is having a real hard time understanding that. Get your vaccination please. It’s the only way to stop this..

Opinion Don’t be a pussy, wu.

Opinion ¿Y cuál es la vergüenza por usar mascarilla? Ninguna, por lo menos no soy un asqueroso covidiota.

Opinion Wear your mask all you want, you SHOULD be making your own decisions and taking responsibility for your own health. However, the flip side of that coin is stop trying to mandate the bahavior of others.

Opinion Agree

Opinion 2020年1月份的时候你们可不是这样说的哦 你们这是违反人权的哦 。

Opinion It's funny how fear always justifies itself all those who don't believe in Jesus words by my stripes you are healed will fall away and die. It is prophesied in the Bible wake up covid is a hoax

Opinion Seriously, anyone who asks me why I'm living my life 'in fear' can STFU until they stop open-carrying guns, pretending that the Democrats will take away their hamburgers, and worrying that Bill Gates is tracking them through microchip vaccines.

Opinion Opinion … who said we haven’t reached herd immunity?

Opinion The irony…

Opinion Same goes for not shaming fully vaccinated people to not be shamed because they don’t wear one
