More vaccinations, less Masks!
 
Encouraged to see less folks walking around with their faces covered up. Since getting fully vaccinated I personally have stopped wearing a mask in any business establishment, with doctors office being the only exception. Encouraged to see others joining me. I’ve never believed that they stop a virus anyway. I hope that people are done being controlled and will embrace FREEDOM once again. For those who don’t buy into any of this, by all means, you have the freedom to stay home or double mask when in public if you want to. I and many others however are totally done with all this control and paranoia!

I encourage all people to not wear masks too, so everybody gets exposed to Covid sooner and we reach "herd immunity" sooner. We're gonna get exposed anyway, vaccine or not, so let's just do it.

I have been vaccinated, but I'll continue to wear a mask though I dislike it. If only for the peace of mind and consideration of many others and an added tad of safety for myself since I believe they do help. Florida's (and the nation's) virus death toll rate is nothing to brag about.

I wish health and happiness to everyone.

To everyone that doesn’t want to wear a mask, go ahead, just don’t invade my 6’ space around me. I have, and will continue to do so, tell people to back off.

“Your Space” Good luck with that. If you said that to me I would tell you to just go home if your that paranoid!

Nothing wrong with asking people politely to stand 6 ft behind me.

Totally agree. The gig is over. Haven’t worn a mask in 8 months.

....and the next day - the alternate online villages paper reads - angry man pulls out a gun on another man in a fight over masks

The Florida death toll may be “nothing to brag about”. But considering Florida doesn’t have, and has never had, a mask mandate, we have done better than most mask mandated states. Over the past year, if masks were truly effective, there would have been a discernible difference between the states that did, and did not, have mandates. You can show me all the YouTube videos you want about masks, but the actual death count speaks volumes about the effectiveness of masks...

Between natural immunity and the vaccinations I'm feeling optimistic that masks will be a thing of the past by this summer. I'm seeing fewer and fewer people wearing them. Every day the risk of contracting the virus goes down which is awesome.

I don't want to show you any videos at all. Do as you choose. Good luck.

Wearing a mask
 
Being humble towards others rather than saying this is my right and the hell with you must be very hard. Does a mask really hurt you????? Do you wonder why stores and medical facilities require masks???

eventually the anti mask/non vaccine folks will be the most vulnerable group left!!

And since we still live in the United States of America it is their choice to be in that group! That seems to be a concept that a lot of people have forgotten
