I am still wearing a mask even though I’ve been vaccinated.
I stayed healthy doing so.

I do not listen to one word Fauci says.

You have no way of knowing if the face mask kept you healthy.

If that were true we would have seen hundreds of people wearing masks pre-COVID, but we didn't.

Not true. My son never considered wearing a mask for allergies before CoVID. He only wears it mowing the lawn but it was certainly a nice discovery thanks to the ridiculous mask mandates.

It's just incredulous to me that some people willfully disregard the advice of infectious disease experts who work in this field daily. Defiance of the experts is not very smart!!

The “experts” change their stance quite frequently

The info on the news seems to go back and forth about requiring the mask. Soooo many people especially in Southern states are getting it, yes, mostly nonvaxed. I predict that they will go back to mandatory mask very,very soon and hopefully mandatory vac. It's a shame that wasn't done months ago, and we wouldn't be in this mess.
I truly believe the surge in cases and quickness of spread has taken the CDC by surprise. And not only are they back pedaling, they are very concerned it is getting out of control.
So, great for those who have vexed, not good for others and hopefully everyone will wear a mask, for that extra layer.

No one should ever be forced to inject a foreign substance into their body.

That's what makes them good at being experts. They know enough to accept and acknowledge that there is always more to learn. What they knew for sure today, could be proven wrong, or right but for different reasons, or expounded upon, or even proven to be MORE true than they realized, tomorrow.

Only ignorant people insist that everything they know today, is all there is to know.

So you are in favor of stopping all vaccinations of children. Okay. Let us know how that works out.

Well, darn, I wish you would quit channeling me and posting exactly what I was going to say before I can say it :)

I probably would have been a little less "Politically correct" than you were.

But, well said.
