I will do what I can to protect my loved ones and myself. The anti vaxxers will use whatever excuse they can to not get vaccinated. They could be literally lying on their deathbeds in denial. There is nothing I can do about that. Covid is a dynamic pandemic...changing as we speak. It doesn't mean the science that said we were safe to not mask if we were vaccinated was wrong when it was stated. But things are quickly changing. People who ignore the changes are going to put themselves and others at risk.
