CHICAGO — The City of Chicago is no longer requiring fully vaccinated people to wear masks, health officials announced Tuesday.

In a news conference, Chicago Public Health Commissioner Dr Allison Arwady said the city would be in alignment with Gov. JB Pritzker’s mask guidelines for all of Illinois.

“Following guidance from the CDC and the state, and recognizing how safe and effective this COVID vaccine is, the city of Chicago will no longer require masks for fully vaccinated people in most settings,” Arwady said.

Currently, Illinois residents who are fully vaccinated do not have to wear masks anymore, in most situations.

I tell you, if it wasn’t for the Marxists and Joe Bidet, I would have never guessed being vaccinated protects one from a virus. Thank God we have them to tell us when we no longer need a mask.

What is the actual “law” that was passed that makes this true?

Edicts from mayors and governors are not lawful against those not employed by those entities, just as presidential orders do not apply to non-federal government employees.

By the way, JB knows this because he rescinded the prohibition against church attending four hours before it went to the state supreme court.

It isn’t going to work - this is lifting the mask mandate on everyone but they don’t want to admit it.

Proof of being vaccinated in Chicago can be provided by showing the 666 mark on the hand or forehead.

So you no longer need to put a piece of paper on your face to pretend it works against the virus?

Barcodes or Serial numbers Tattoed on vaccinated forearms would help?

All this BS would be moot if they had just simply given us truthful information in a timely manner and allowed us to make up our own minds as to what we would do to protect ourselves, but just setting mandates and giving folks who should be nowhere near a power base, a power base, was just plain stupid.

Just make sure you remember to wear the bullet proof vest.

Well, I’m a white, heterosexual, 70-year old Christian guy, but for COVID purposes, I identify as a 25-year old, black, transexual, non-binary, obese entity that has been vaccinated at least 14 times and my daily anal swabs prove I’m COVID-free. I keep the latest swabs in a baggie for those that want to “examine” it.....LMAO.

Even if they demand proof - you just wear your mask through the door and take it off after you get inside out of view.

In Mayor Lightfoot’s case, she should keep wearing a mask. Please?

Agee. However, THAT^ would have defeated the very purpose of the planned virus release which was to destroy the juggernaut U.S. economy attributed to Trump. It was the only path they possibly had to try to destroy and defeat him. They needed the fear and in-trepidation to bring about their desired results thru corrupt mail-in voting etc. They were highly successful too.
