They announced yesterday that all mask mandates in Pennsylvania will end with or without 70% of the adult population vaccinated on June 30th. It will then be safe. OK, how do you know it will be safe. What makes June 30th different than June 15th or July 15th? This is a prime example of why this whole mess has been nothing but a political football. Last week, the mask mandates would remain in place until 70% of the adults were vaccinated, period. This was to be "incentive" for people to get vaccinated. Now they are saying the June 30 deadline will be "incentive" to get vaccinated. Why? the masks come off no matter what on the 30th.
Here's the deal. Vaccinated people no longer wear masks. They can't ask you for proof of vaccine so quite a few others are not wearing masks either and the numbers are still plummeting. It's pretty much proving anecdotally that masks accomplish absolutely nothing. Places that mandated them have the exact same overall stats as those that didn't. In many cases, areas with masks are worse. Probably because areas without are more conscious about social distancing which does work.
Oh, and then there's this. Those that get vaccinated they say now may have lifetime immunity. OK, no evidence of this but why not. Those that actually had Covid should have immunity for at least 10 months. OK, quite possible. BUT, I don't think it is possible to have one without the other. The entire purpose of the vaccine is to produce the antibodies that are produced when you actually have the virus. If you have the virus, your body is going to produce massive numbers of the anti-bodies. If you have the vaccine, your body will produce a small number of the anti-bodies. Make sense to anyone?
