So?

And the more unvaccinated there are the more mutations there are and the more mutations there are the more people will die.

it is NOT a personal choice.

Yes, it IS a personal choice. My body, my choice. That's what they say about abortion. Why doesn't that apply to the vaccine? I have no problem with your continued mask usage. Just don't try to impose your beliefs in that regard on me.

Aren't the variants originating in other countries? The Delta variant is more transmissible yet less deadly. That's typically how virus mutations work. Since I've been vaccinated and have some level of immunity, I'm not concerned about catching some future variation of this COVID. The risk is comparable to the risk I have catching the flu or the common cold.

Considering the # of citizens that have contracted the virus and have natural immunity plus the # that have been vaccinated; the US has to have the highest % of citizens that have some level of immunity. No data to back this up but I suspect the original flu was probably much more deadly that it is today. Eventually, populations developed immunities making the subsequent variations much less deadly. That's what is going to happen with COVID. I know this because I stayed in a Holiday Inn last week.......

This should clear it up. Straight out of the contradicting leader of the Covid fight, Dr. Fauci.

I feel that I am being oppressed by being asked to wear a mask! End oppression!

When I was 17 and in boot camp for about 4 weeks someone in our barracks died from spinal meningitis. Over night we were isolated every time we left the barracks the camp looked like a ghost town. As dumb as I was then, that was a wakeup call. I'm fully vaccinated and if wearing a rag other my face gives me 1% more protection I will do so. Not to mention my 6 year old grandson is coming to visit in 2 weeks, there is no way I want to put him in danger of contracting this.

That "rag" on your face probably affords you zero additional protection since you were vaccinated, but it could save your unvaccinated grandson's life. I applaud your decision:bigbow::bigbow::bigbow:

Yeah,, get your REAL facts from Facebook! Some people just aren’t the sharpest knife in the drawer!

Fauci is the reason but no investigation.

We were going on a Celebrity cruise to Europe in September, and were just notified that we must wear masks on the ship except when eating, drinking or in our cabin. We must also wear masks when on tours. No thanks. Good bye cruise. We will wait. We both have had Covid-19 and since then have been vaccinated.

How YOU feel is under your control. No one can make you feel anything, but you. Don’t want to feel oppressed, then stop feeling oppressed. Mask or no mask. It’s just that simple. Just change your perspective.

Here’s a shocker! If vaccinated you can still stay healthy NOT wearing a mask

Lazydaze 07-30-2021 06:56 AM

So much of this taken out of context....ridiculous posting!

Proveone 07-30-2021 07:12 AM

LAME! So you are using Facebook to try to make a point about face mask use. Sad! What you failed to do is show Dr. Fauci's comments based on what times during the pandemic. The existence of the variant and people not getting the vaccine has changed everything about when and wear to use a mask. Stop getting your info from fake sources!

You have no credibility.

Some people portray Fauci as a hero and some as a villain, he just a man grabbing a straws trying to save lives. I believe if anyone of us were in his position we would be doing the same. My only question for him is at his age and I’m sure he has enough money, why is he putting up with this nonsense.
