Time to open, no more masks.

THE PANDEMIC IS OVER

That's what they said in 1918, then the real death toll became clear

IT'S OVER. Deal with it, I'm sure your authoritarian Democrats will move on to the "climate emergency" to control our lives next.

They didn't have a vaccine in 1918, and that was a legitimate pandemic unlike COVID which has 99.8% survival

sort of. We have a vaccine, and it looks like were close to the point at which those willing to get it....will have.

We can watch the rest suffer through this until they learn. Yeah the vaccine isnt 100%, but its good enough that I will take the risks just to support these folks right to ignore their health.

Once vaccinated completely I feel folks right to ignore their health is no longer a significant enough risk to me that my opinions on wearing a mask outweigh their opinions on risking their health.

Of course....I also feel seatbelts should be optional.

Because the anti-vaxers are nuts

Just do your best not to add to the "tested positive" count, and that's it. You add to it by unknowingly giving it to someone else, soooo...


Right now - as has been the case for quite a while - a very small percent of the country is keeping this thing going - keeping the numbers steady - and those are (by definition) the very same people not following the policies.


While many of them will never get the vaccine - they will, nevertheless, be immune (mainly, variants we shall see...) because they're getting infected, instead. Patience - and we'll reach "the herd" - there is no time table for that. Those who say the herd isn't possible because of the anti-vaxxers - are forgetting half of those people were already infected - so their stance does not play a role. They're helping to stop it, whether they know it or not. So THANKS anti-vaxxers for slowing things down - but even you cannot stop it.

This post is right on point!


And, I think that the small percent of the country keeping this thing going are the anti-vax anti-mask go out and do what you want CDers
