Still some caveats.

I watched it live and she gave no caveats whatsoever (except if you are exhibiting symptoms). She flat out said no masks at all.

If they are backtracking and now giving certain caveats, that is NOT what was said clearly, on video.

Hopefully this will also speed the spread among the un-vaccinated. I don't really care how we achieve herd immunity, and if you're scared of the shot, you'll eventually get the virus and get protection the natural way.

I’ve read where 20% or more have already contracted Covid. Over 50% have at least one shot (which even one shot is highly effective). I’m assuming most of those never caught it. Doing the math we’re very close to the herd immunity target.

I am not vaccinated (and never will be), and I still ain't wearing a mask anywhere. Those days, and this entire charade is fricking over.

Anyone telling me to wear a mask now I'll tell them to go frick themselves.

Once this is finally stripped away by their once leaders they will have nothing left. Their lives will again be meaningless they will cling on as long as they can. Wouldn't even be surprised if fringe pro mask groups start to develop as this thing totally ends.

For fun, just go find any mainstream media (left-leaning) journalist on Twitter and look at the responses to their tweets. It's hilarious panic. "BUT WHAT ABOUT ALL THE PEOPLE WHO WILL SAY THEY ARE VACCINATED BUT AREN'T!?!?!"

So no reason for any business to continue mask requirements.

Many businesses follow CDC guidelines. So they will require the employees that have not been vaccinated to wear a mask forever. Don't want to wear the mask get vaccinated. CDC is doing this to try and increase vaccinations and using employers to do it.

I didn’t watch live but what I read said still recommended on planes, trains, and certain other close settings.
