1. Vaccines won’t put an end to the crisis, as you can still catch, spread, and die from covid.

2. Covid is a 99% global survival rate virus susceptible to the old and those with pre-existing conditions, so society has decided it’s not deadly enough to warrant getting the vaccine for the average person.

If covid had like a 70% global survival rate, people would be killing eachother over vaccines.

Until covid becomes deadlier, or approved for kids under 12, the world will never be fully vaccinated.

I'm not a big fan of experimental gene therapy coursing through my bloodstream.

Private businesses and other entities have the right to require masks. I’m guessing they will if people don’t start getting vaccinated.

No one’s freedom is unjustly impacted, you can enjoy whatever it is if you wear a mask. Think of it as a “No shoes, no shirt, no service” sort of thing. I don’t see protests over having to wear shoes when going to a store. It’s a requirement that you wear something. What’s the big deal?

Masks actually save lives. Not getting vaccinated (if eligible) is selfish. Especially if one then refuses to wear a mask when out in public.

The only thing that is perpetuating this pandemic is people who aren’t vaccinated or wear masks properly. We could all be nearly done with this carp by now if everyone did these two simple things.

We are never going to get out of this. I just know schools are gonna be half day/remote come September with all the hyper protocols in place that make in person instruction unbearable. I really feel bad for our children and how we are screwing them over year after year. They are never getting this time back.

Seeing lots of "mask families" out there. Wearing masks outside with their young kids in New Jersey. My problem with them is these people although small in number, are very emotional, opinionated, make a lot of noise... and are the ones who will put pressure on everyone else (politicians, school boards, etc) to make everyone comply with their insanity.

Indeed. There is no magical solution. And the supposed "public health measures" aren't exactly magical... or a solution.

We simply have to accept that besides cancer and heart disease, we have a third principal killer: the virus. We simply have to accept, that some number of Americans - and presumably comparable proportions elsewhere in the world - are going to die. Every day. Maybe 500 extra a day, beyond the normal historical daily count, before the pandemic. Maybe 1000 extra per day. Maybe 2000 extra. I don't know what that number is, or how it would flare or recede, only to re-flare. But we simply have to accept the reality of death. And to move on.

When will we get the actual covid death numbers. Not the number of every single person who died with covid.

Personally I was never locked down or wore a mask in the first place. Whether they come back makes no difference to me, doesn't effect me.


That said, as one being against lock downs and masks, I hope they do come back. Seeing the vaxed masked and living that hermit life again would be epic...lol Leftism is a disease, it takes years to cure. Perpetual misery is a path to that cure. I see it as the greater good.

I am fine with wearing a mask if necessary. I would dread seeing businesses shut down again as it financially ruined many people’s lives. If that happens, I lay the blame where it belongs, with anti Vader’s whose recklessness caused this virus to reign out of control.

How wrong you are - there were protests in Israel too and even MSN covered it.
