Didn’t they JUST say the vaccinated should be masked also? When did this change?
There is no "they"
What you are witnessing is low-to-mid level bureaucratic warfare with no one in charge.
A lot of mistakes have been made. A lot of false things have been proclaimed as if they were validated by experiment and data.
The good news is that a huge part of the SARS CoV 2 - human interaction story is coming into focus.
The bad news is that every bureaucrat who has said things that are not true in the last 23 months is in danger of exile to the Dreaded Private Sector, where they might have to (Oh God, no!) take care of patients or some such awful fate.
So, you are seeing what happens when adults play musical chairs.
At this point it is all PSYOPs to keep people divided and afraid. As a long time hazmat officer I have been saying repeatedly from the beginning that the types of masks people are wearing have no actual value for preventing the transmission of respiratory illnesses. It is crazy to believe that they do... it truly is more of a leftist religious belief. Study after study prove that they do much more harm than good.
And the “vaccines” were designed to fight a pathogen that essentially no longer exists. When they first were developed they had some value for people who were at risk because of age and comorbidities. But were “leaky” meaning that they did not completely eradicate the pathogen in vaccinated individuals. So just like antibiotics when they were given to everyone the bug just evolved into a different form that evaded the treatment. At this point they have become essentially worthless so we have the unusual situation where in most places with high vaccination rates there are far more vaccinated people and habitual mask wearers who are sick and dying from Covid and other respiratory illnesses than unvaccinated people.
This has created armies of apologists who are using mental gymnastics along with manipulated data to double down on the mandates for both masks and the “experimental vaccines”. Despite and actually because of the now astronomical rate of “breakthrough cases” the CDC and most state health agencies chose to stop counting them last April in a transparent attempt to hide the fact that the vaccines had already lost their effectiveness against the emerging variants.
It would all be comical if it were not part of a coordinated effort to destroy our country, and western democracy as we know it. Make no mistake, a war is going on but it is not against a virus... it is against our way of life.
The Vaccinated still can spread covid. The only people with immunity from the virus’ consequences are BigPharma.
Huh? Why should I be wearing a mask if I am vaccinated?
I guess it depends on where you are. Here in central Texas, nobody wears a mask unless they want to and we don’t go around asking each other’s vax status.
Though, I’ve noticed that a lot of the vaccinated, much like vegans and atheists, will *tell* you, whether you ask or not. 😏
