You mean the ones walking completely alone in wide open outdoor spaces?

Isn't that what people against masks and the vaccine think they are? Patriots for "fighting" for freedom?

Those folks that wear them outside could be severely immunocompromised. Like, covid would assuredly take them out. There’s still a very low chance it can be transmitted outdoors.

In other words, don’t presume.

Also, how does it affect you in any way if someone else is wearing a mask outside? Who the fuck cares?

Are vaccine passports that don't include previous Covid infection effective or ethical given the data coming out of Isreal?
"The natural immune protection that develops after a SARS-CoV-2 infection offers considerably more of a shield against the Delta variant of the pandemic coronavirus than two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, according to a large Israeli study that some scientists wish came with a “Don’t try this at home” label.

When the wrong questions are being asked you will never get the correct answers.

Interesting question. At the end of the day, vaccine passports are mostly about encouraging vaccination - rewarding a member of society for making the responsible choice to help bring an end to the pandemic. So in the context of the greater good, it seems ethical enough?

Sure, but splitting hairs a bit. I mean, 8 out of 10 in the first 2 rows were infected.

I hear ya, just a few pages ago I was questioning why every study on vaccination rate seems to ignore the percentage of the population under 12.

There we cases in Chinese restaurants with transmission over 15 feet because of screwy ventilation.



Unmask indoors at your own peril.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?
