Vaccine mandates terrific...mask mandates not so

If everyone got vaccinated covid would go poof and thousands would not die needlessly. That said I’m no longer for mask mandates. Good at start of pandemic. Likely saved thousands of lives.

As the cases and fatalities went down I welcomed the new window notice ‘Masks required for non-vaccinated.’ Mine came off.

While mandatory masking may still offer some residual protection, mandating them may do more harm than good by driving the fanaticism of the anti-vaxxers who view them as governmental overreach. By dropping mask mandates, making them advisory to the unvaccinated, we may spur more anti-vaxxers to come over to our side….and promote herd immunity.
