[QUOTE="ThatRobGuy, post: 75957723, member: 123415"] Right, but that guidance (for wearing a mask, and keeping distance) was from the same institutions that some folks are claiming to be skeptical of now. "I believe them when they say to put the mask, but not when the say it's okay to take it off" seems counterintuitive. For the record, I'm fully vaccinated, wore my mask when it was necessary, and limited my indoor contacts to people within my "bubble" prior to being vaccinated. I "played by the rules" so to speak, which was what many in that camp were demanding. But now that the rules are being changed (in ways that could strip them of their virtue signaling ability), all of the sudden, they're the ones who are skeptical of the CDC and questioning the experts (who they claimed were unbiased and incorruptible 2 months ago) Got together with several friends (who are on the left politically) who are also vaccinated, and we went down to Amish country this past weekend, went mask-free everywhere we went, indoors and out. It's not everyone who's on the left who's rejecting the CDC guidelines, it's just the subset who still sees intrinsic value in "showing everyone else how seriously I'm taking it". We even got to witness it first-hand in a few of the stores we went in...there were some people (who we crossed paths with multiple times) who were wearing masks, and had to "just casually" keep bringing up in conversation - with anyone who would listen - that "even though I'm vaccinated, I'm still wearing my mask because...yada yada yada" "I'm going to keep wearing it, because I don't trust the CDC's judgement" falls a bit flat when it was their judgement that suggested that they put it on in the first place.
