Then take off your mask and go be normal. My vaccinated status has no bearing on your normal.

The timing of this doesn't surprise me. The "tricks" they play may work on a 5 year old but not on adults. Another example of this is the $450,000 dollars to illegals. Biden is walking it back now. Sounds like a trick my parents used to get me to accept something. They would suggest something truly awful then "back down" and suggest a compromise. Of course the compromise is what they had in mind all along

Except it does. Until we reach herd immunity through vaccination, we won't be back to normal. 15% more people get vaccinated, we'll see mandates lift. It's EASY to get back to normal, just wear a mask a bit longer until stragglers finally get vaccinated. This is America. We care about our fellow Americans, not only about ourselves.

What lockdowns?

The only things I can’t do are go on a cruise or go to the movies.

So it's not about safety, it's about getting your way. Go worry about yourself. Also, newsflash. Heard immunity is impossible unless we vaccinate or cull every animal that can harbor covid. Also, heard immunity implies... Immunity. Last I checked the vaccine doesn't make you immune.

The number touted as necessary for "herd immunity" was 70%. The last I heard reported was that the population was at 70%+. So they're now going after our children, who are the least susceptible and effectively at 0% risk. Let's get rid of the remaining mask requirements, especially for schools, and declare this finished. If you're vaxxed, you're protected, right? If I'm not, why do you care? I'm willing to determine my own level of risk acceptance and go on from there. If you're still locked down, it's by your own fear and by your own choice.

It's over, Brandon.

Poppycock. If you really cared about fellow Americans, you Democrat Leftists wouldn’t bending over backwards to help illegals using American taxpayer money, when there are plenty of actual Americans that need help.

Are you being locked down now? Really? Everything is open where I live. Only issue is a lack of merchandise on the shelves. And that is caused by a lack of workers. Forcing workers to get vaccines or face being singled out and tested weekly does not help. More people will quit. And a vaccinated person can bring in the virus and infect other workers. But they don't have to be tested. How does that make sense?

Just under 60% of the US population are fully vaccinated. Let's keep wearing our masks, and keep encouraging friends and family to vaccinate to get to that 70%. That's the point here. Why do I care about you? As I said, this is America. We care about our fellow countrymen. That's an American ideal. We care about each other so that we get to that herd immunity.

Get out there and push any remaining anti-vaxxers you know to get vaccinated, get us to that 70% so we can open up completely.
