HBO’s Sex and the City star Cynthia Nixon has blasted New York City for lifting masking mandates, saying it represents “an enormous step backwards.” She also indicated she and her family will continue to mask up despite the city’s newly relaxed rules.

Her angry screed comes as the Hollywood star posted photos her herself and her family posing maskless with friends while on vacation in Kenya.

Starting Monday, New York City formally lifted vaccine requirements and indoor mask mandates, including in public schools, where masks will be optional for kids 5 and up. Masks are still mandatory for pre-kindergarten kids and for all people on public transportation.

Broadway shows are still requiring ticketholders to mask up through April 30 at least.

A lifelong New Yorker, Cynthia Nixon wasn’t happy about the city’s revised mask policy, accusing Mayor Eric Adams (D) of throwing out the “most simple and effective” safety measure against COVID-19.

“Our family’s return to normal takes an ENORMOUS step backwards,” she tweeted. “Thanks no thanks.”

Her tweet comes shortly after Nixon shared photos of herself and her family posing maskless with friends while on vacation in Kenya.

My wife had a hip replaced on 2 March. After her first week of recovery, we opened our doors to our friends, church members and family members and have told them masks are not necessary. In fact we prefer no masks by anyone.

Two couples, who have been basically Karens re their masks,left their masks in their vehicles and enjoyed their visits.

We have friends/relatives from the east coast to the west coast and mandatory mask wearing is losing out except in the DC area and north.

Now, someone wearing a mask in many of the no mask areas is ignored, shunned or ?????!

I see less people wearing masks in the stores and on the sidewalks just walking on each shopping trip.
