When the deaths from the vaccine surpass the deaths from the crap itself, will those stats ever be published? No, there is a reason they want everyone to get the vaccine beyond the crap. Not sure what, but for sure as many others have said, there is just something not right about this fricking crap, and the vaccine is at the very top.
Are really serious or just trolling for your own entertainment ?

So, according to "the science", I'm apparently more vaccinated now, than I was three months ago o_O CDC says that if you're fully vaccinated, it's now safe not to wear a mask; inside or outside. I was fully vaccinated by the middle of February, but still recommended/required to wear a mask inside. Today, by the miracle of modern science, I'm cured. :rolleyes:

Who said I was gonna stop wearing a mask? There's still half the people out there haven't been vaccinated. Slingin' snot everywhere. 'Cuz, it you're not getting the vaccine. . . . you're not wearing a mask.

Edit: not wearing a mask is the new "going commando".

Then there are the ones who think they bought the underwear so are going to get their money out of it.

In this case "the science" is continued pharma trials, more data, more healthcare results, analyze data and make best educated guess while under an emergency status. So no surprise, 3 months is a longtime considering. I would be more worried if CDC didn't evolve their recommendations and instead doubled down without changes.

I called BS on that requirement from the start. If you're fully vaccinated there's no data supported scientific reason to continue wearing a mask. You are extremely unlikely to contract or spread the disease. The fairy tail "they" (certain media outlets and government individuals) were promoting for a while about fully vaccinated people harboring full blown asymptomatic infections and continuing to shed/spread virus was blown out of the water by data. They had to see that coming or were they that ignorant? More likely they depended on us to be that ignorant.

All Biden did yesterday was to admit the obvious. The main benefit to that announcement will hopefully be to shut up the Karens yelling at folks about masks now.

I think we are learning more about the vaccine and population level effects. The past recommendation that fully vaccinated folks continue to mask-up was a cautious approach and reflected what we didn't know. Now we know more. It's only been a few months and we should anticipate future changes.

Wearing them, or not wearing them?
Wearing them = is it/was it beneficial?
Not wearing them = is it/was it beneficial?
I got called out by a "Karen" for not wearing one when I was walking through the parking lot at our local Lowe's (big parking lot and I always park way out away from the door dingers). She was two isles over from me and the closest person to me. I had a mask in my pocket intending to don it as it's required to enter the store. What was interesting was the level of anger and fear she exhibited, made me wonder why she was out at all. I've seen and heard other incidents, sometimes actually violent. So far it's always been the masked ones calling out the unmasked ones in my experience.

I would think there is also a factor of non-vaccinated people that want to walk around without a mask or precautions that are likely to spread it. Just googled, only 36% of the US population is fully vaccinated (https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/public-health/states-ranked-by-percentage-of-population-vaccinated-march-15.html), that's roughly two out of three that are still susceptible to infection. The number with one dose is only a little higher, I think at 45-50%. By having a blanket policy of everyone wear a damn mask, there is more social pressure to do just that.

No idea why they would do that.

I will politely request people to be aware that I am protecting them if they approach me while shopping. Generally they do not give a sh*t about social distancing, wearing a mask, and being polite enough to wait their turn.

I got informed I was "virtue signalling" when I last mentioned this. Enter my space during a pandemic = my rules

Given the number of anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers, I prefer to take a more cautious approach as I've developed a pretty low opinion of the U.S. populace's ability for self control to benefit others. With the lack of vaccine documentation I'm expecting we'll get some bad outcomes in regions with poor self control. But we are seeing ancouraging signs around the benefit the vaccine is having and the risks to or from those who have been vaccinated.

The recent experience of the Yankees in which 8 members, all vaccinated, tested positive is a case in point. 7 of those 8 were asymptomatic. I'm not sure if those 8 posed an equivalent risk at passing on COVID as someone w/o the vaccine. But it points to ongoing risks to those w/o the vaccine and suggests, to me, some caution at just dropping masks or other social distancing quite yet. Things are heading in the right direction, however.
