OK I get vaccinated and now supposedly cannot get COVID. If I can no longer get COVID how can I spread it to others if antibodies have destroyed the virus in my body? Then why should I be compelled to wear a mask? Why should I be restricted in socializing, going to restaurants or being in public? If these restrictions continue despite the vaccination I can conclude that either the vaccine is a joke and does nothing or the government simply wants to continue control over my life.
“OK I get vaccinated and now supposedly cannot get COVID.”
Actually, the party line from the scientists changed a while back. The science is still out, but the scientist spokespeople are speaking anyway, because they won’t say, “I don’t know, because it’s not yet knowable with a lot of certainty.” “They” say the last I read that the vaccine does not prevent you from getting COVID, just that it makes the cases less severe and more likely not to kill you. They say to keep up the social distancing and avoidance of gatherings, etc, etc. and to keep wearing mask(s). Who among us doesn’t remain confused?
But, wait a while: The narrative can easily change again. First, in opposition to common sense, we were told that masks were not needed and could not help. Medical administrators were saying, “There is no evidence that two masks are better than one.” Common sense was sneered at.” Then we read that the virus is so, teeny, weeny small, that it marches right through any mask(s). Then were told we should for sure wear masks, but....not cloth masks. Then we were told to wear a cloth mask and to wash them regularly. Now we are told to wear a cloth mask and a paper mask. Maybe paper mache masks and baby diaper mask combinations will be next.
The masks the troop of dancers wore at Superbowl half-time, were eye-catching. Some who claim to be in the know say those wider and higher dancers’ masks that surrounded the eyes, too, were standard issue jock straps. That tableau of uniform rows of masked regimented denizens of the city captured the uniformity of submission that has occurred this year.
