CDC updates guidance, recommends vaccinated people wear masks indoors in certain areas | CNN
I did the right thing during 2020, wore a mask and kept distance...
Did the right thing in 2021, got vaccinated...
This particular reversal in mask guidance? I'm not so sure...
Given the CDC directors comments and statements earlier, there seems to be a breakdown in the logic somewhere.
She openly acknowledged that the chance of contracting any serious level of disease when vaccinated is low... she also acknowledged that while it's still possible to transmit with an asymptomatic infection, it's less likely.
We know that the vaccine is widely available for anyone who wants to get one and there's no supply issues stopping anyone from getting vaccinated.
We know that infections in the age group that's not currently eligible are overwhelmingly mild or asymptomatic.
Given these pieces of info, wouldn't that mean that me going back to wearing a mask is solely for the benefit of anti-vaccine types who don't take it seriously and have no intention of getting vaccinated anyway?
Maybe we can come up with a new term for people like myself who have no interest in going back to masking for the benefit of people who've used words like "sheeple" to describe me for the last 18 months. Maybe "second wave anti-mask"? Sort of like the term "second wave feminist"?
