Agreed.

So very sad that something like this is being celebrated! Fully vaccinated yet still afraid of the virus and *these* are the people we are cheering for :(

Fill in the blank:
I am fully vaccinated against ______ and yet I am still so afraid that I feel the right to demand all those around me be vaccinated too, and I am damn proud to feel that way.

It's an airline rule. Recently a guy was kicked off a flight (SW, think) for not masking while eating a snack.

Seems like a lot of phony baloney going on! Some want to stay on the same old subjects or find a way to talk of mask and vaccines all the time. While the country is getting worse and worse. Hypocrisy everywhere, shortages in every industry, buckle up we are in for a ride! Food, tp, gas, lots of difficulty ahead. Have faith in God!

Isn't there a government mandate for masking on airline flights? That might be the reason for the masking. I see no reason why a new precedent could see a relaxation of this mandate for fully vaccinated flights. Then people can eat on airplanes without having to mask between bites and sips. (Honestly the silliest guidance to come out of this pandemic).

Yes, and according to the guy who was kicked off, he was not aware of that masking rule to mask between bites.

So the fully vaccinated passengers are masked on the plane but when they get off of the plane they are reunited with relatives who are largely not wearing masks?

Correct :ohdear:

perhaps this group of people will be studied so that future flights can be maskless. people want to just start doing things before research is completed. I understand that some people find wearing a mask more burdensome than others, but I prefer erring on the side of caution.

Studied? Why? To show that vaccinated people wearing masks cannot get or give the "virus"?
For the life of me I cannot understand it

Gulfcoast 05-10-2021 08:35 AM

The whole purpose of getting vaccinated in the first place is so that you no longer have to worry about this nonsense. Or at least that is my view.

Does the virus know when your eating, to stay away....
