It’s very obvious that those of us who are vaccinated will continue to mask up while the selfish and unvaccinated will go maskless and spread Covid allowing it to mutate and scales will spike again. Huge mistake by the CDC!!

Did the WHO tell you that?
So you wanted everyone to listen to the CDC last year but now that they are publishing recommendations that you don't like, we are supposed to ignore them?
Anyone have any evidence that non-symptomatic people have passed on this virus outside?
Vaccinated or not?

My existence disproves this idiotic partisan binary.
Nearly half the country has pretty much been 'mask optional' most of the past year. And yet their numbers weren't drastically different. Half the country has been vaccinated now, rolling out to high schoolers now which will increase it even more.
If numbers get way out of control in a month from now it's because the vaccines don't work. But they do work, so they will not get way out of control.
In over a year only 10% of Americans got covid. If 50% of people get vaccinated, and the vaccinations are 95% effective then this eliminates nearly half the people. So in order to reach the numbers we did in the past year the non-vaccinated people would need to be exposed to covid at twice the amount they did last year. This group is largely who was already exposed to it the most anyway, so it's doubtful it will get any worse for them.
Summary, it will not be a complete disaster. I thought you covid-scared people followed science? The science says the vaccines work, and most adults are vaccinated, so those people don't need them.

Your body, your choice. My body, my choice. Or, so says some parts of the law. Do what you need to do to protect yourself Common Cents Caren.

How, in principle, would such evidence be gathered?
You can wear a mask all you want. Nobody is stopping you. Heck, wear 3! Wear 10!!

People only "follow the science" when it happens to support their particular pre-conceived narrative.

Yes this is the first big misstep for the CDC. Its obvious to everyone that all the anti maskers and anti vaxers just got the green light to be a bigger problem. There is no way to tell who is a un vaccinated person. They will never wear a mask now. Ironic. Once again, bad decision right on the doorstep of success.

Nice try. Its not the hard science its the psychology. We all agree with the science. Problem is, every single anti masker conspiracy theorist like you will now use this to not wear a mask and contribute to variants and preventable deaths because you know we dont know who has had the vaccine. No anti masker will wear a scarlet letter on their face now because of either; 1) you never wanted to wear one anyway due to your "freedoms" and anti society beliefs, or 2) you will be embarrassed to announce you are part of the problem by not getting a vaccine as evidenced by the mask you are supposed to still be wearing.
CDC made this rec in a vacuum. Its a green light to all the problem people.

Interesting assertion. Link?
[I ask because the stuff I've seen says that fully-vaccinated adults are still a minority in the U.S.]
There are two paths to herd immunity: vaccination or naturally acquired infection. People who are not getting vaccinated need to acquire COVID naturally to fill in the voids. Mask mandates / vaccinations do nothing to prevent variants [two of the variants of concern circulating in the US (B.1.427 and B.1.429) are from California, land of mask mandates, lock downs, and vaccinations]..

so...you can drive drunk, open fire in a crowded subway ? All because its your choice? You are why we have laws, guidelines and a million statutes. And the reason we do indeed need the nanny state. Because folks like you ask for it, and cant make decisions that respect other's rights. Every rule we have...is because of your (libertarian) attitude toward the rest of us.
59.7% of adults have at least one shot. The second shot is of little additional benefit.

"Wearing a mask when it is not medically necessary is grotesque and unhuman, an attack on society itself. It feeds paranoia and fear. You are treating air like it is toxic and other humans like they are nothing but vessels of disease. It is disgraceful, arrogant, and offensive."
~ Matt Walsh, Daily Wire
That’s right dork!
Had a great shopping experience 🛒 at Trader Joe’s this weekend without my mask. Only idiots get a vaccine for a non existent virus. Just walked right in the door. Funny all the scared fatties and old people still masked up. Good for them. Most are ugly anyways.
