Other than that, where masks are not required, I will stop wearing them.
Flu season was pretty much non-existant because of masks and distancing. It makes perfect sense when you're packed like sardines to wear masks. I will not hesitate either, don't care what others think.

SHEEEEEEEEEP! Jesus H.

I’m not sure if they’re vaxxed or not but whats the probability all of them werent? I am sure @ least some were

Cant live your life in fear folks. At some point ya gotta come out from behind the curtain
You can make decisions based on history / data. Probability of who weren't vaxxed? It's the same number as our population in NY being vaxxed, which is just over 50% from last week's data.

The woke narrative that normalcy cannot return without a universally administered and 100% effective vaccine is now officially in the dustbin.

Of course the glovers, scrubbers, maskers and TDS long haulers can continue to do their thing.

Next order of business is for the ‘experts’ to determine if this catastrophe was from a lab leak in Wuhan. If so, the world will know where to send the bill.

Noooo, come on. It came from a bat! The Chinese (or American politicians) would never engineer such a thing.

Can say the same about 9/11 20 years later.

Now that TDS is wearing thin a few if the ‘experts’ just realized there is no evidence to support the Chinese tale.

And those who used to shout ‘conspiracy theory’ at suggestions that the Wuhan lab (that researches and manipulates this sort of virus ) might be the source are taking another look.

One would think China would be furiously working to find the evidence that it developed ‘naturally’. The fact they are not thus far finding conclusive evidence is speaking volumes.

Dropping the mask mandate is dangerous and biased against the unvaccinated. The vaccinated could have gotten a failed vaccine and have no immunity and the unvaccinated could have been exposed to covid, been asymptomtic, developed antibodies and be immune. Both my vaccinated and unvaccinated friends are livid about the relaxing of the mask mandate in NY and say they will go out even less than they do now because it's more risky.

So wear a mask, or 3. No one is making you take it off.

The risk of transmission is higher to the masked person if an infected person isn't wearing one.

In that case, you should probably just stay inside your home forever, with a mask. Best of luck.
