Only .008% of fully vaccinated people in the US were infected with Covid. This is from the CDC like 5 days ago.

Go. Live your life. Shed the mask.

Honestly even if covid is completely eradicated I think we'll still have to wear masks and social distance because most people are paranoid dumbasses

Israel crossed over the 50% vaccination mark today and lifted the outdoor mask mandate. Everything I've read says ~60% is the magic number for herd immunity. The US better start lifting restrictions once we get there.

i mean most states don't have outdoor mask mandates here anyway.

i bet herd immunity is closer to 70% for covid, reasoning being us is at 50% (ignoring children but many of them have very limited outside contacts and they do not spread the disease very easily at all) and 10-20% of the population already had covid, Assuming half haven't been vaxed yet (in line with the total population) that gets us to almost 60% and cases are still a bit flat here in the states

another month of vax should easily get us there

The vaccination takes 2-3 weeks to start working the immune system. Also, 1 vaccine isnt a silver buller. Two is after a week or so.

shut up and just tolerate it; just like everyone else in the world

The was probably the best part of all of this. One thing I hope people take from this tho is to wash their fucking hands and not go to work or school while sick. And I hope teachers realize that its better to have kids miss a few days and not get everyone else sick than to assign so much missing work that it's almost impossible to make up assignments without missing others

I'll never understand the anti-mask stuff. I don't even notice wearing mine anymore. Obviously, I'm ready for shit to get back to normal, but I don't get it when people act like masks make it so hard for them to breathe.

Just cause you have the vaccine doesn’t prevent you from spreading the disease to others. I don’t think it’s a wise idea to end mask mandates until the majority of the population has been vaccinated. I also think after the pandemic wearing masks when feeling ill will be more normalized like it is in Europe. After all masks only protect you yourself so much. But protect other people more

It would be unrealistic to allow exceptions to the mask mandate for people who have been vaccinated. Imagine being a business owner and asking every single patron who entered your establishment for proof of vaccination. It's easier just to ask people to continue wearing masks. Is it really inconveniencing you that much? Quit being a bitch. Be a team player and wear your god damn mask.

So you are admitting that the masks are purely symbolic after vaccination? My point exactly. I am just asking Fauci for a number that we can all work towards. If it is a certain % of vaccination, or number of daily cases then I can be on board for that. My issue is that they keep moving the goal posts.

It is an inconvenience, it is dehumanizing, it is an infringement upon our First Amendment, it is physiologically impacting our children, and to suggest that I need to wear it is actually "anti-science". Funny how the party of "science" forces people to wear any piece of cloth over their face even after they are vaccinated. What a sales pitch to get the vaccines.

That’s my reasoning but I’m also not a virologist. Coming up with an exact number is pretty tough. Spread rate models have a lot of variables and it’s incredibly difficult to predict exactly when we will see a drop in hospitalizations. Policy makers are doing their best to keep people safe and would rather be accused of overreacting than under-reacting.

Dehumanizing? Jesus Christ dude it’s just a mask. Do you have the same opinion about having to wear a shirt in public?

You can still spread covid with the vaccine, you may not feel sick because you are pretty much immune. And until enough people are vaccinated covid will keep spreading and have a large infection rate. Idk what you’re expertise is in this but my moms one of the people in charge of vaccinations in our area and all my information comes from her🤷🏼

I said in the beginning that the masks would probably never fully go away. 13 months later with a vaccine my guess is looking pretty solid.

But there’s literally no science by saying this. You’d be right if everyone had an N95 mask on. But no one actually wears those.

there’s no science proving a cloth mask will prevent Covid spread. It’s actually been proven now that states like South Dakota and countries like Sweden who never locked down and never wore masks legitimately have the same Covid infection rate as locked down mask wearing places.

If theirs no science then why is the rest of the world still wearing masks lol (WHO ,CDC ,MAYO,John Hopkins)? What I'm getting at is that IF their is a slight chance to save lives by wearing one, why wouldn't you?

The CDC says they *could potentially* spread it (meaning they don't have proof that they don't) and then literally call it a "residual risk."

Use your brain here, if you could spread it with the vaccine, having more people vaccinated wouldn't stop the spread, which is obviously not the case.

We are all wearing them up here in the northeast. You have to wear one in every single store. Down south in Florida and Georgia you don't have to wear one at all if you don't want. The death rate and infection rate in the northeast and down south are essentially the same.

Your argument is "IF" wearing one saves lives... thats the problem. IF means that wearing one doesn't even mean that it would save lives. At some point they need to go away and considering that the science is saying there's no correlation with saving lives then I believe the time to stop wearing them is now. We have a vaccine pretty much distributed to everyone who needs it.

If you're really still that worried about catching covid you should be locking yourself in your house and not going out. Because a mask "may" help prevent the spread... but we clearly see it doesn't stop it altogether, and in most cases it doesn't stop it at all.

I think its safe to say that with vaccines rolling out masks should be gone by the end of the year hopefully. I think even this summer we'll some places ditching them entirely.

It is nowhere even close to a fair comparison. Facial expressions and non-verbal communication are critical. Seeing smiles or how people are expressing themselves is important...especially for children.

I mean I don't want snot... but a mask doesn't block droplets of virus from coming through it. Even an N95 doesn't completely block that from a sneeze.

When has a stranger actually sneezed on you though? realistically I can't think of that ever even happening to me.
