Define safe. You probably won't die...
If you feel the need to ask a bunch of strangers, you probably already know the answer and are just hoping we'll confirm that it's too risky.

Unfortunately, this. But I will ask - are you just just attending a church ceremony? Or is there a reception afterwards with dinner, dancing, etc?
If it’s the former then I would hope that they set up or at least encourage social distance within the church. If it’s the latter, that’s a lot riskier because you’re certain to be in close contact with strangers.
There’s a lot of risk involved but my opinion is that I think it’s doable if you’re mindful and proceed cautiously.

You make some good points. I attended a funeral in late Spring early Summer for my uncle and instead of sitting up front shoulder to shoulder unmasked with the rest of my extended family I sat in the back corner with my mask on. I'm sure they thought I was being ridiculous, but I wasn't there to impress anyone.

Just got a phone call. First positive case at my high school. We’ll see what happens.

Yup. Apparently everyone who was in close contact with the student has already been contacted.
Had a kid in my home room tell me there were kids in the building positive still coming to school.

I sucks because we all mask up in my family but you never know. Glad masks were mandated for her school district but I have asthma so don't want to get sick even though I'm vaccinated.

if I do go, it will only be to church ceremony; will definitely skip reception. Church probably won’t encourage social distancing or mandate masks. I have N95 masks on deck so I agree it’s doable, but not sure if worth the risk.

Bingo. You were moving cautiously. I’ve had to travel for work during the pandemic from the start via mostly airplane and train. I’ve managed to avoid getting it but I could see why some folks wouldn’t have done the same. You really have to keep your head on the swivel and sometimes go out of your way to avoid folks in order to achieve the maximum possible peace of mind.

Best part of a wedding is the reception with the open bar and food
But yeah I imagine the reception to be super risky with everyone drunk and talking loud

If you are vaccinated with Johnson and Johnson or with moderna is it safe to get the pzifer ? I heard in other countries some are doing it

What is your relationship to the couple getting married? I think it may come down to that as well as what is most important to you. I’ve not attended weddings for less tbh and that was Pre-COVID when you could go to a reception with dinner, open bar, dancing and a good time. I have no qualms sending a card with an apology, comments on the pics and a check. COVID is just a built in excuse now

Yes, absolutely. If I had Moderna or Pfizer I would try to get the same for dose #2, but if I had J&J I wouldn't hesitate to get Moderna or Pfizer as a second dose. There has been very good success using mRNA vaccines as a second dose after adenovirus vector vaccines (mostly Oxford/Astrazeneca, but close enough).

Honestly, i’m vaccinated and would not be scared to go to a close friend’s wedding or any other event. Got a housewarming party on Saturday.

You KNOW the answer to that question.
The fact that they thought you were ridiculous is VERY ridiculous.

You would think an anti-parasitic would work well on Paul himself.

I don't KNOW, buddy. Still, trying to figure this ordeal out. I don't know how many of these 200 people are vaccinated. For those who are vaccinated, don't know when they received their doses or the remaining efficacy of their vaccinations. I also don't know how the delta variant may come into play. People seem to participate in various social activities and its still not clear where the risk lies.

Not trying to be a jerk but you asking the question indirectly tells us that you know the answer to the question.
But I would say to avoid that event at all costs.
Unmasked

Brother-in-law.; solid dude who always shows love. I attended a funeral last year which required me to travel to a high transmission country. Vaccines weren't available at the time. so I was unvaccinated. Was on a packed plane for 4 hrs (each way), and was around 150 ppl who were crying w runny noses and all that. Got tested for covid before leaving US and when I came back; results were negative both times. Infection seems like a crapshoot given all the varying factors that come into play.

So yea, don't test your luck.
You made it out of THAT situation clear, don't pull an OJ and go steal your own merch.
