prevents particles/droplets from entering open wounds, incisions, patients mouths. also prevents particles from going into doctors/nurses mouths. helps protect older infirm or immuno-compromised patients when in close proximity.
The majority of the unvaccinated are waiting to see. They are concerned about safety, but also efficacy. You can chalk the latter up to Fauci Inc. And now with the re-masking it’s going to get worse.
Your “experts” are making the juice not worth the squeeze.
There are no doubts about the efficacy (if you’re vaccinated, even if you get COVID, it’s going to be a very mild case- in almost 100% of the cases), and doubts about the safety are being overblown by people like Tucker Carlson, and right wing media, and even by people on the ground like posters here who misconstrue what databases like VAERS are showing.
The majority of unvaccinated are not “waiting to see”.
“The mixed messaging of saying that you have to mask when you’re vaccinated will tell the unvaccinated, oh, actually, the vaccines don’t work,” said Dr. Monica Gandhi, University of California-San Francisco.`
Fauci said he’s not concerned that the mask mandate will erode trust in the vaccine’s efficacy.
“There are situations where one might want to go the extra mile to get the extra degree of protection,” he said.
Ah once again the person who doesn’t understand the thread proves it.
I absolutely believe that every liberal should mask. 24/7. So please do! I think L.A. county should mask for the next 50 years.
Simma down. I’m not trying to talk you out of masking. I am only ridiculing it. Which is first amendment protected speech. Please Jay, Mask up!
But I won’t be joining you.
Your statement while true, is completely out of context.
Masks are predominately worn in Asia by the sick people so that they do not pass on their virus to others.
They are not worn (in any significant numbers) by the healthy to prevent catching a virus.
Having said all that, there are seasonal dust storms in Asia where sand (as fine or finer than our pollen) blows in over whole areas the size of large cities… Many will wear mask so that they do not breath in all that sand.
I’m good. The people I care about have all been vaccinated. I just don’t get why cons have made wearing a mask to prevent the spread of a deadly virus a threat to freedom.
