Ending mask mandates for vaccinated people is good policy.

The virus will never be "over," you nimrod.

good thread. 100% correct. effectiveness of mask is marginal anyway. the number who will get vaxxed to get rid of mask will save more lives than the masks themselves.

the left is going to keep the covid policies going for at least 2 more years.

Agreed!!

Absolutely!

Lets race again, while Jamin and company still have to sit at home.

No matter how many people are sick, no matter how many people are vaccinated, no matter how many ventilators we have, no matter how many open hospital beds we have... these policies are going to remain for at least 2 years

Some states already dropped mask mandates. My state has concrete qualitative benchmarks for when restrictions go away. One of the main criteria is % of population vaccinated. That’s won’t drag in for years in this country. Months is more likely.

Way too soon. Still almost half of the country hasn't been vaccinated . Plus, we are not sure that we can't still carry and pass Covid even though vaccinated. Please be patient. You have waited 14 months . What's 4-6 more? The uneducated and ignorant science deniers are astounding

The best thing we can do as a society is rebel against the modern day Nazis in power and just say NO to lockdowns and restrictions and masks. You'd be surprised how easily the government folds once people stop obeying their orders. Covid will be gone, the lying news will stop talking about covid and they'll move on to their next hot topic to manipulate people's minds. The government and media thrive off of people's attention, compliance and obedience.

4-6 more months is 4-6 more months, and after that probably another 4-6 months. Remember "two weeks to flatten the curve?" This has been the longest two weeks of my life.

At a certain point, the responsibility needs to shift to YOU to protect YOURSELF by getting vaccinated, and the rest of us need to be let out of this mask prison.

Are you saying people on the left are less likely to get vaccinated?

Because those who refuse to get vaxxed will keep the covid policies going.

So you want everyone to carry around their proof of vaccination and show them wherever they go? Sounds quite authoritarian.

Im saying that left leaning politicians are the least likely to re-open and drop mask mandates, reopen schools, allow for concerts and football games etc..

anyone that hasnt been vaccinated at this point has chosen to avoid it, therefore the rest of us should be free to go about our lives as normal.

What about those who had a hospital grade serology test and have shown antibodies?

I was tested positive but I never had any symptoms. Why should I get vaccinated at this point when natural antibodies last as long as the vaccine induced? 8-12 months.

I'm not anti-vax, but I spoke with my doctor and I am not contagious.

Additionally they confirmed that a vaccine at this stage would be for me, simply boosting antibodies after 1 dose; not for the safety of others.

There are millions more like me, that have recovered and are part of herd immunity even without the vaccine. I do still plan on getting vaccinated but can't find any sound logic why I shouldn't wait about 8 months, unless I need to travel internationally.

Vaccine passports that allow people in to indoors unmasked activities is a good idea. Dropping mask requirements for people who have been vaccinated is hard to enforce based on the honor system. Vaccine passports worked well in Israel as both an incentive to get the vax and to get transmission down very quickly while the vaccination effort was under way.

So funny and conveniently hypocritical when liberals use Israel as a model society when it is the only country they hate as much as the half of the U.S. that doesn't guzzle the authoritarian Koolaid.

If you think that vaccines are effective, then you should be for de-masking now that vaccines are widely available. Unless you just are addicted to
