Are we all forgetting among all the hype and fear that some 98.8% of the population are not at risk? The vaccine will not stop you getting covid or stop you spreading it. The vaccine is supposedly to stop you from becoming extremely ill from covid. The mask thing is nonsense and always has been. I do wish people would start using their common sense and stop listening to the media and the scientist who's models have all been proven wrong so far. Covid exist but the biggest danger are the politicians.
Christ, even Boris had to listen to the scientists eventually. This is getting like flat earthers.
There's a absolute ton of evidence that masks suppress transmission, a ton of it. Google it for yourself.
If you don't want to wear a mask for some other reason, that's your choice, but let's not have the utter bullshit that masks don't work because that's rubbish.
As for the models, funnily enough the evidence is pretty clear there too. We chose, for political reasons to ignore the models, delay lockdowns, and as a result had world beating death rates in the first two waves and eventually had to shut down longer and harder than we would have needed to with a timely response.
It's not yet clear how the next wave will pan out, but casually letting it rip amongst the younger unvaccinated population, particularly of school age, isn't anything that the rest of the world is doing by choice. In essence, it's an experiment.
