In the event that you are contagious, you will also be sharing your virus particles with people who have been vaccinated and people who are wearing masks, quite possibly with severe or even fatal consequences, since neither are 100% effective. Is this something that you are comfortable with?
If everyone acted like you, no one would wear a mask, cover their mouth when they cough or sneeze considerately into their elbow. Your refusal to wear a mask encourages others not to wear one, and makes those who continue to wear one wonder why they still bother.
