Without question and according to data, COVID treats age groups differently

First, hospitalization and death are rare for anyone who contracts COVID. Beyond that, the old are much more likely to suffer death or hospitalization than young age groups.

COVID treats vaccinated individuals much differently than unvaccinated individuals. While there are break through cases, hospitalization or death for vaccinated individuals are extremely, extremely rare.

So why is government treating everyone the same way? Telling every age group regardless of vaccination status to wear a mask is absolute insanity.

The young are much more likely to suffer death or hospitalization than older age groups.

Yeah, that seemed way too off.

And you're right...there has never been a reason to treat this as a one size fits all from very early on.

Because we have a society that refuses to distinguish between groups. They can’t be accused of ageism and most of the voting public is old anyway, so their is zero short term cost to locking up young people to make sure the old people can get back to P.F. Chang’s as quick as possible

Let's put aside the debate of if masks work vs. don't work.

First, when the mask mandates began being lifted, it was with the guidance that it was only lifted for vaccinated individuals. If we are being honest, most people regardless of vaccination status chose to not wear a mask if they didn't feel like they were at a high risk to getting a bad case from COVID. So, everyone wearing a mask again keeps people from "cheating."

Second, new data indicates that vaccinated individuals who are exposed to COVID can harbor similar levels of shed-able virus as those who are unvaccinated and infected. If this finding is accurate, then vaccinated individuals are just as likely to spread the virus as unvaccinated. Therefore, everyone would need to keep wearing a mask.

The Govt mandating that any person wear a mask to go shopping or to work is insanity.

In NOLA we had 9 covid deaths last month but 18 homicides.

Our homicides are now double the covid deaths.

This shite has been over.


You are more likely to get shot by a black man in new orleans than die of covid.

You know who cares the least about wearing a mask? The unvaccinated. Why are you making me wear a mask for someone who doesn't care if I wear one or not? If they truly cared, they would become vaccinated and they've had that opportunity since March.

Again, if you are vaccinated, why do you care?

People are feeling safe enough to shoot others, openly, in the streets, so you know everything is getting back to normal

It's insanity for no deeper reason than the simple scientific fact that masks don't work.

You're right that a lot of unvaccinated folks also don't care about masks. However, I believe that choosing to not get the vaccine isn't about "caring" so much as it is about some being hesitant about experimental treatments being pushed on everyone.

Because we're all in this together. We must flatten the curve. Someones memaw can't wear a mask due to a laundry list of other health conditions.

Because vaccinated people are spreading the disease as well.

LOL. You can't advocate mask use unless you can prove it works.

Since they will deceive you, why do you expect them to follow any rules?

As the evil Chinese Communist intended. They have an elderly problem and COVID19 was a prototype solution.

The data reported from these states indicate that breakthrough cases, hospitalizations, and deaths are extremely rare events among those who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 (see Figure 1). The rate of breakthrough cases reported among those fully vaccinated is well below 1% in all reporting states, ranging from 0.01% in Connecticut to 0.29% in Alaska.

The data from the rest of the entire world says that data is not accurate

Scotland currently has it 50/50 of patients in their ICU. The UK has it at 60/40. Iceland only has vaxxed persons in their hospitals. In Ottawa its 72/25.

And after 7 months the vaccine wears off, and those numbers will start to reverse, as ADE is likely to effect only the vaccinated.
