That's not true - at the level we are at right now, with less than 50% vaccinated, it has nothing to do with the vaccine and everything to do with herd immunity that the vaccine will help provide.

There are still people who are waiting to get the vaccine, and kids aren't approved yet. That will happen soon.

Personally, I see no reason to wear a mask any longer. Overwhelming evidence says that a fully immunized person in the 95th percentile cannot get nor give the virus to others.

I can reasonably assume I am in the 95th percentile as I have recovered from Covid and been vaccinated, as has my whole family. But I will continue to wear the mask out of a sense of public decency and responsibility.

Kinda interesting that the people who refuse to be vaccinated are the same people who refuse to wear the mask....
