I love seeing people wear a mask, while in their vehicle, alone. Protecting their steering wheel?

I, for one, will NOT be wearing a mask once vaccinated and past the waiting period.

Please research you are not 100% protected from the virus.....YES you can still get Covid after vaccine....YES there are many different strain and variants not protected by the vaccine. YES you can still be a carrier and give someone else the virus.

When people live in fear, they stop thinking for themselves. They will follow any leader they find no matter where they are going. That’s what scares me.

Yes, you will be wearing a mask in any place that mandates it. No one ever said the mask comes off once the shot goes in. Apples n oranges when you say why get the vaccine if you still need to wear a mask. One has nothing to do with another.

The degree of paranoid that exist among so many people Is alarming

So if the sign on the door says shirt and shoes required to enter OR no receipts no returns, or any other store policy posted, am I under the impression YOU are King and can decide what store policy you think could possibly pertain to YOU?
Disorderly conduct is an arrest-able offense. Love to be a witness to that big shot.

You can still contact the virus and pass it on to others. Then there’s the new variants of the virus about which little is known.

Please, please be considerate of others who may not have been vaccinated. You can get the virus and infect others like me and my wife. Our doctor tells us that with our medical situation infection will have serious results, possibly even a lethal outcome.

Why are we calling people names? I grew out of that in grade school

The purpose of the mask is primarily a social function for a start to your programming.
In the 1930’s the Japanese knew that one could not successfully invade America, too many home defenders.
The Chinese have said that America needs to be disarmed.
Disarming America when we stand together would be very difficult. Like the story of breaking one twig versus a bundle, divided we fall.
The mask is a symbol in your mind that you cannot trust the other person. This has an impact, don’t roll your eyes.
If you begin distrusting your neighbor and coworker then you will understand when someone rolls up and takes their property.
Maybe you go along with a rumor that they need reprogramming. Maybe you don’t trust them and you get in a dispute, so you turn them in.
The mask is about programming, not the pathogen.
Obey your new Chinese Overlords and wear that mask!

I wear a mask when a business home requests it...otherwise I don't wear one.

Me, too - I do (and have no problem with having to) wear a mask and distance when required.

Otherwise - ANYONE in my home, car or yard is not required to wear a mask or distance. If they wish to - that is ok w/me.

And folks —— there is so much data (that is not governed or standardized in a consistent manner), so many experts and governing bodies - with different numbers, changing recommendations, etc... ... yada yada yada ... But, still feel free to post until you are ‘blue in the face’ .... you are not changing anyone’s mind ..... and someone will *always* be able to find a reliable resource that supports another view - always!

If you want this to consume the short time you have left on this earth - fine, your choice. I choose to live!!! I choose to spend time with friends & family and enjoy living! Because when I take my last breath - I know I will regret it, if I do not.

If I need money, I just grab it from your pocket. If I need a place to sleep, I'll break into YOUR house, clock you over the head, and push you off the bed.

Because ain't no government gonna mandate MY every move, no sirree.

I know you are saying this in jest simply to try to ridicule the poster who you included in your response. However, with that said, your behavior will probably cause you severe harm if not death too. Especially when you break into someone's house.

What do you think the real reason is? Aren’t we able to take care of ourselves without government mandating our every move? Use God given common sense in your life. Unfortunately, the Lemmings and Sheople weren’t blessed with such.

You make no sense and being rude isn't necessary! Please use your God given sense....2020 we have to wear masks...no flu...isn't that amazing. I know you think it's all about you...but its not.
Getting the shot gives you protection...wearing mask is prevention for others...ie; your grand children, your friends, your spouse...you know..the people you supposedly love.

What about spittle particles ejected from their mouths as they speak?

You know, the little "spits" from english phonics.

Masking seems prudent to me.

Well stated ! You are spot on and factually correct 100 percent! Thank you for posting this!

Since the point of wearing a mask is to prevent the wearer from spreading the virus, a mask is still necessary until everyone that wants to be vaccinated is vaccinated.

Those who refuse the vaccine are risking their lives so it's not the responsibility of every else to keep them safe once they've had the opportunity to get the shots.

You are spot on sir! Thank you for posting Facts !
