33. I say safe. The numbers are coming in. And if you are vaccinated you aren't getting Covid.

100 million fully vaccinated Americans. 10,000 breakthrough cases. Less than 150 deaths. Most old and at risk.

Your odds of getting killed or injured driving are worse than getting or dying from Covid if you are vaccinated.

We have rightly derided those that denied science and rejected wearing masks and distancing and staying home as much as possible. We risk becoming them when we get people vaccinated and then reject the science that says once vaccinated we are not at risk. I’m still wearing my mask to be a team player.

But once every American who wants the jab has it I’m done. Because I look to science.

Science has given us great vaccines and the are incredibly effective. Democrats deny that our peril.

By August the economy will be fully opened and masks will no longer be required.

The virus has spread through aerosol since the beginning. yardwork May 2021 #28
This does not mean that the virus is free floating like measles can. And is why we wear masks! GulfCoast66 May 2021 #12
In fact, this virus is free floating. yardwork May 2021 #29
