Meanwhile....... I'm happy to wear a mask to protect those that have a medical reason not to get vaccinated. I'm happy to wear a mask to protect children who are unvaccinated. And I'd happy to wear a mask to protect patients if I got drafted back into service. BUT..... I really don't want to wear a mask to protect those who CHOOSE to not get vaccinated because they are misinformed, or are making a political statement, or are simply more afraid of the vaccine than the disease. But that is what it is coming to, and I'm really not happy that the hundreds of millions that did the right thing and got vaccinated will now have to go back to wearing a mask, or possibly enduring another round of shut-downs and restrictions, because of those that THINK they know better than the experts and avoid vaccination. So, you see, your decision not to get vaccinated does affect the rest of us.

I did not request, nor do I expect you to wear a mask for me.
If you will provide me with a study of the mRNA vaccines showing their long term safety, I will be more than happy to read it. In the absence of that, I will choose not to be part of the largest vaccine trial in history.
And before you throw out “protecting the children” since the start of Covid, just over 400 children 0-18 have died from Covid. In that same timeframe more than 70,000 children 0-18 died from other causes…
