I cannot help feeling this way. The CDC under Biden has just screwn

91. I understand

But the concern seems to be that unvaxxed will be wandering around without masks, and that that is a problem? The data says that it is only a problem for the very people who are wandering around unvaccinated and unmasked — they are barely a threat to the vaccinated population.

Masks were the only line of defense before the vaccines arrived, but the vaccines now provide significantly better protection than masks do. If people are choosing to put themselves at risk by not vaccinating, they will reap the potential consequences, but they’re no longer threatening the rest of us (at least according to the best data we now have).

That doesn’t mean people shouldn’t continue to wear masks if they choose. I’ll be keeping mine on for a while in public spaces (everyone at my local grocery store was masked today).
