OMG! You have my sympathies. I’ve heard that’s a big one.

Per the OP, all the data suggest that.
Here’s one thing I do know. I haven’t had a sniffle in a year, which for me has never happened. I may continue to wear a mask at work . . . for who knows how long. Doesn’t really bother me.
Do you think a virus may mutate at some point that masks become ineffective?
thinkingman:in the middle of an outbreak masks might make people feel better but theyre not providing the protection that people think
How do you know that? Do you have any evidence that wearing a mask did not prevent an infection?
oh. i heard it from some dude
Again…we are told everyone should get the vaccine so that herd immunity will be real.
How can there be herd immunity if getting the vaccine doesn’t stop you from giving it to others?
That is an excellent point, Doug.
We are now hearing about different strains.
As far as I am concerned, get the vaccine and go about life. No one is meant to stay in lock down mode unless they have a reason to.
Folks need to lighten up. For heaven’s sake. This is not the Plague.

Have doctors stopped using masks, like ever?

if you want to because you think it helps, by all means. do so
Have doctors stopped using masks, like ever?
Sure. I’ve met with several doctors who didn’t wear a mask over my lifetime.

Not unless it mutates to a different transmission mechanism.

A virus needs to survive. So, it will learn to circumvent masks.
Just as bacteria has become resistant to antibiotics.

PS: had my second Moderna shot 3 hours ago. Feeling pretty good about that.
what a relief

Yes. They stopped using them as soon as they left work.

I love this from Florida.
“Biden last night said that they may have to impose more lockdown-type policies in the future. I can tell ya: that ain’t happening in Florida,” DeSantis stated, “We are not going to let him lockdown Florida.”
Watcha gonna do about it Joe?
If the vaccine does not significantly reduce the chances of spreading the virus, then why do they also tell us that everybody needs to take the vaccine for herd immunity to occur?
Those positions are contradictory.
Because the evidence isn’t yet clear how much an immunized person who gets infected will shed the virus while infected.
The viral load will be reduced, but it isn’t clear as to how much.

Thank you for your support.

How.
How would it do that?

Here’s what is clear. The states and countries with the most restrictive lockdowns didn’t seem to fair any better than anyone else. Sometime worse. Much worse. N.Y. had the highest infection rate in the world. The vaccine is here. End this nonsense.

Wear the mask until the majority of people get vaccinated.
It really isn’t that big of a deal.

I agree. The data shows it. And what does that tell us?
