A look at when people can take protective masks off

We’ve been wearing masks during the pandemic for months and months now, so we looked at when we can take them off.

As more people get vaccinated, many wonder when mask mandates will go away.

“Now that we got one of our shots, we’re probably going to not wear our mask much at all anymore,” Mark Pierce said.

Pierce wants his face to be free as COVID-19 cases decline. He says rules should too.

“We’re just really fortunate to live in Florida where our governor has some common sense,” Pierce said.

We did speak to people who explained their loved ones worried about her visiting Florida because of fewer constraints during the pandemic.

“What we don’t have is a totally clear understanding yet is whether the vaccine is infection preventing,” said Dr. David Lindner, the director of the COVID-19 response team at NCH Healthcare System.

Lindner says the key is how quickly the population can administer vaccines.

“Once we get to the level where we have a sufficient number of people who have been vaccinated,” Lindner said. “And that we don’t have a variant that is rendering previous infections, at that point in time, that’s when masks are going to calm down wholesale.”

While medical experts have different opinions, Dr. Anthony Fauci says it’s possible masks will remain necessary until 2022.

Some stores in Collier County don’t plan to take signs down at least until the summer.

“You could say, ‘I got vaccinated; I don’t need to wear a mask,’” said Heather Neils at Silver Eagle Gallery. “But how is anyone going to actually be able to know if you’ve been vaccinated or not? How are we going to control that?”

I was vaccinated four months ago so why do I have to keep wearing this face diaper?

Really simple....Pass out big yellow stars to vaccinated folks. Or maybe tattoo a number like NYS4500234 on your arm.

But the key word....CONTROL

Oh yes - we’re all gonna be tagged like cattle, just like in China, so people we don’t know can evaluate our medical status!

This is George Orwell’s 1984 we’re livin’ in.

We can take the masks off when the left decides it no longer wants absolute control. None of this decision making is medically based - it's how much control they want and need.

If you're elite, you can skip wearing masks any time, any place.

I was vaccinated four months ago so why do I have to keep wearing this face diaper?

According to the government...

If I get vaccinated:

1.- Can I stop wearing the mask?

Government Response - No

2.- Can they reopen restaurants, pubs, bars etc and everyone work normally?

Government Response - No

3.- Will I be resistant to covid?

Government Response - Maybe, but we don't know exactly, it probably won't stop you getting it

4.- At least I won't be contagious to others anymore?

Government Response - No you can still pass it on, possibly, nobody knows.

5.- If we vaccinate all children, will school resume normally?

Government Response - No

6.- If I am vaccinated, can I stop social distancing?

Government Response - No

7.- If I am vaccinated, can I stop disinfecting my hands?

Government Response - No

8.- If I vaccinate myself and my grandfather, can we hug each other?

Government Response - No

9.- Will cinemas, theatres and stadiums be reopened thanks to vaccines?

Government Response - No

10.- Will the vaccinated be able to gather?

Government Response - No

11.- What is the real benefit of vaccination?

Government Response - The virus won't kill you.

12.- Are you sure it won't kill me?

Government Response - No

13.- If statistically the virus won't kill me anyway ... Why would I get vaccinated?"

Government Response - To protect others.

14.- So if I get vaccinated, the others are 100% sure I'm not infecting them?

Government Response - No

So to summarize, the Covid19 vaccine...

Does not give immunity.
Does not eliminate the virus.
Does not prevent death.
Does not guarantee you won’t get it.
Does not prevent you from getting it.
Does not stop you passing it on
Does not eliminate the need for travel bans.
Does not eliminate the need for business closures.
Does not eliminate the need for lockdowns.
Does not eliminate the need for masking.

So...what is it actually doing?

I don’t know but I think it’s time to get the guns out. This nonsense has gone on long enough.

Time for Democrats to go.

Yeah...I guess I'd rather wear that mask out than have a "papers, please" system on being vaccinated.

[who knows what evil?]

"How are we going to control that?”

How about MYOB, Heather?

[Bodega]

I have a suggestion.

Why don’t you start reading scientific information from Europe, Canada but not the USA about viral diseases (everything from ordinary influenza to corona viruses in general) and look at the Corona-19 data of deaths of all ages and what makes one person more susceptible than another, and, then, about how Covid-19 is a scam? Read from start to finish and, and, then, just chuck your masks. Do not believe Fauci and the CDC...the Democrats and very rich (attempting to take over the world) support that group and they do not have your best interests at heart.

[mewzilla]

They aren’t masks.

They’re muzzles.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Well written.

Why is my country/my company forcing us to wear a mask? Because “they” said so. And “they” are afraid to admit they were wrong.

[Adder]

How are we going to control that?”

How is that actually your job, Karen?

Wearing mask has a lot of bad side effects.
Mask mouth:

MASKNE (mask akne), skin irritation.

are the common.
Ask your dermatologist/dentist.

There are more severe breathing and psychological problems, but the above are very common.

I thought I have skin cancer and was quite worried, but it turned out to be Maskne.

They're masks but they're not protective masks.

[FamiliarFace]

I prefer neither.
