Maybe you guys can go around wearing buttons that say, I took Ivermectin so I can know who to avoid.

The majority of the police I've seen also aren't wearing masks in the subway system and don't seem to be interested in getting others too--so that ship has sailed.

Not sure what your point is in posting that article. It's insane how much disinformation special interests are trying to spread to stop the widespread adoption of a dirt cheap and extensively tested medication

The science says the virus is transmitted by airborne droplets (breath). I'm vaccinated but still wear my mask when I may be ANYWHERE near other people like trains, buses, and in stores. I haven't yet been to a movie theater but I hope to go soon.
I wear a mask when I visit my 100 year old mother but still haven't hugged her. I place my sanitized hand on her shoulder when I leave and remind her that I love her. I go out almost every day to shop or dine out (mostly alone). It's selfish to go unmasked even if you're vaccinated. That just means you are not likely to be hospitalized or die but why gamble right now?
No one wants to feel forced to do anything but look how far we've come since last year.

no logic here

COVID being airborne is the reason TO wear a mask

I got vaccinated in large part so I woukdnt have to wear a mask for the most part
I intend to wear them on the train bc it is the rule but I realize at this points it's pretty much pointless since most people in NYC are vaccinated and half the people on the train aren't wearing a mask on the train anyway

I can absolutely understand you wearing one around your 100 year old mother

I'm so sick and tired of this crap where people are so scared of maskless people and still living in fear when we have a very easy solution... GET VACCINATED!! It's really that simple. If you choose not to, then stop living in fear and expecting others to change their lifestyle for you. You chose not to get vaccinated and contribute to the prolonging of this pandemic, so too bad. Deal with the maskless people in the same way we are dealing with your stubbornness not to get vaccinated.
