Claudia Campos, 34, wanted there to be no doubt about why she continues to wear a face mask at the Florida car rental company where she works. She decided to screen-print a mask that telegraphs her thoughts. “I’m vaccinated,” it reads, “but I’m not ready to trust you!”
This pandemic is not over. You can and most likely will contract COVID19 several times in your life. It's not going away. We the people do not have the fortitude or desire to make it go away. Someone somewhere will always have it and spread it to others. It's just humans being humans.
The vaccine doesn't prevent COVID19 infection. It just reduces your chance of ending up in the hospital with it. We are still fighting the information battle about prophylactics and out-patient treatments. Doctors are still risking their careers to go off-label. The big pharma companies are coming out with their own treatments and there is money tied up in keeping existing (cheap) treatments from being used.
If this lady wants to reduce her risk of contracting COVID19, that's her choice (she needs a better mask though.) I can't fault her for trying.
Nobody is wearing masks out here except employees of certain retail businesses. Nobody. If the vaccine doesn't totally prevent the infection, what would the fortitude to make it go away entail? Locking down the entire planet for a month and masking the entire world forever? Never going to happen.
I will admit I enjoy the social distancing though. I like our break room tables as they are, with everyone sitting apart 6 feet and cleaning their tables after they are done, making the office people eat in their cubicle instead of coming into the break room. That doesn't mean I want to force distancing on society, but I will admit I won't mind if the table distancing remains. I doubt it though. Extroverts like to pack together and talk loudly. Chuckle. Live and let live.
