CDC says: NO MORE MASKS if you are vaxxed

Well, hopefully as a vaxxed person I still can at least catch and transmit it it to ant-vaxxers and get them sick.

Hopefully

Yeah, go cough on the people wearing a yellow star, Nazi.

I was thinking of maybe a red V on our foreheads.

What happened to her "sense of impending DOOM".

CDC still a political tool. I doubt here in California we'll be seeing our state re-evaluate the mask nonsense anytime soon.

Quote was from 2 months ago wasn’t it?

I guess enough people got vaxxed despite half of this website’s best efforts!

The whole move is a deflection by Fauci who is now trying to make sure he is not investigated and revealed to be involved in providing funding for the research that led to the pandemic. Fauci needs to be thoroughly investigated and tried for mass genocide in a global court if it comes to light that he was involved. The man is a lying piece of trash politician and not a scientist deserving of anyone's respect.

Yeah, that was about 2 months ago. The fact that she's in such a position and completely whiffed on what it would look like in 2 months is pathetic. Or perhaps she knew what it would look like and was speaking in ridiculous hyperbole to manipulate the public. Either way, not a good look.

They knew public support was slowly waning so they decided to be the ones to remove the mandate. Or they can paint themselves as the hero.

Does this mean I have to go back to work?

There are no “liberal beliefs” about Covid. Virology is not a political subject. Since it’s not inherently political, liberals believe whatever the medical consensus is. If the CDC says masks are unnecessary for vaccinated, it becomes a liberal belief, because that’s what the science is. Scientific consensus changes, therefore “liberal belief” changes.

No sir, Biden will keep paying you to stay at home.

Healthy people don't seek out tests. Three times as many people seeking out tests is an indicator that things are going in the opposite direction. There was not a shortage of tests last May.

Yes there were. A cursory search of testing shortages in May of 2020 show you are lying. Why rewrite history? ... Oh yeah to make a false point.

Given

1) that the vaccine fails in a certain percentage of cases;

2) the set of those-not-vaxxed is and will be largely congruent with the set of those-not-masked;

3) people with Type A blood, like me and my sister, are more likely to get badly sick if we get infected (she almost died); and

4) a mask is a minor inconvenience that a strong person like me can handle easily,

I believe that I will continue to wear a mask indoors (except at home) and in most situations outdoors.

Nothing coming out of the CDC has been about scientific consensus this past year. You would have to be really deluded to think that politics is not involved. Yes, you are right in that a lot of liberal voters are dumb enough to believe that what comes out of the CDC is "science", but the reality is it is not and it is mostly politics, agenda messaging and attempts to build a narrative of competency where competency is not.

Copying my post from the other thread:

And yet, 90% of vaxxed people will still wear masks because these are the people who wouldn't even step outside their houses for a year. They have been completely coddled into their paranoia of the world for the past year, and now they are permanently scared of everything even though they have the vaccine. It's really pathetic, actually. There's no going back to normal for them.

And I will continue to point and laugh at people like you.

"Private companies such as stores and airlines will also be free to enforce mask rules as they see fit."

You guys are cool with that, right? Individual choice (of store owners, say) is a touchstone for you, right? You're down with the right of an individual to run his/her business (within the law) as s/he sees fit, right? So you're fine with a store that says, "No shirt, no shoes, no mask ==> NO SERVICE," right? You would either just comply or not give that store your custom, right?

Right?

I’m a lifelong GOP voter but I’m happy about this.

The vaccine roll out has made this possible and I’m man enough to admit the Biden Administration has and led this well.

Let’s get back to normal soon.

Today, saw a lady out running with a mask on, she was struggling. She totally jaywalked across traffic on a red light, oblivious to the more real risk of getting flattened.

There should be a word for the feeling you get when you see people's risk assessment being so whacked.

It’s ironic that it will be Biden’s CDC and administration that will remove the mask guidelines and not Trumps.

I loved me some Donald but he was weak on covid.
