Mass hysteria at it's finest. So many needy people that insist that the gov. protect them, instead of being able/responsible for themselves. Use some common sense and protect yourself from the boogieman. If you do not get the vaccination, then don't expect me to protect you. You have already decided and have to reap the results one way or the other. It's your decision and should NOT be the gov's. Wear a mask or don't wear one. It will have absolutely no effect on me. I have my vaccination, but doubt if I would have become infected anyway. That is my decision and the gov did not make it for me. I have no intention of wearing a mask now, other than if I wish to shop at a place where a mask is requested. And then, I wear it below my nose. If that offends you, cry me a river. If you don't like it, stay a safe distance away, preferably at your home. My children and grandkids have had the virus and shrugged it off in a couple of days or so. They can visit me and I have no fear of infection whatsoever. Want to disagree, that is your prerogative.
The experts I am listening to right now, state that once vaccinated you cannot pass on the virus, period. According to them (whether right or wrong) once the virus enters your system, it is destroyed so you cannot pass it on. Like I have said before, I am not an expert. But, I refuse to listen to gov experts that are nothing more than political hacks. Regardless of credentials, I don't trust them. That is my opinion. So, go on your cruise and feel safe because someone mandates proof of vaccination. But, remember it was the cruise that was one of the first points of infection into the U.S. And remember, many cruises come back to port with a whole ship full of sick folks. There are other diseases out there besides Corona. Same goes with airlines and flying. If you are scared, stay at home. Quit expecting others to conform to your fears.
