This article has made me feel a lot less crazy for still wearing my mask even though I’m vaccinated. Thanks for the share, definitely needed
CatStaringAtAWall
I'm fully vaccinated and there has only been 1 case in my town in the last 2 weeks. I'll be wearing a mask again.
downwithJesus
Same. Every prev big outbreak near me has been people feeling confident about minimal local cases. Mask is a small price so that's not me
GodOfTheBumbleBees
A year ago I was looking forward to the country opening up again. By now there is almost no one left who I'd want to spend time with.
Aelok
We must stop Ed Yung. The article itself says he is PUMMELING the unvaccinated world. Physical abuse against antivaxxers isn't okay! /s
WhichIsIt
Eh, nobody listens to some Yung guy
EvolvedMonkeyFlyingThroughSpace
Informative post, a near summarised recap of everything I've read in the past year. What an experience this has been for the world.
SisterMidnight
For sure.

I fucking hate it because itwas completely avoidable, but nooo "MUH' FREEDOM"...and Im taking about the whole world not just USA
SisterMidnight
I put the blame for that squarely on trump’s should s for lying and discouraging mask usage.
afatrollofmyown
I blame him for killing the plan to mail every American house 5 masks! That woulda done SO MUCH.
TheGhostofElizabethShue
The Omega Variant sounds like a kickass 70s movie. Maybe Donald Sutherland is in it.
SisterMidnight
With Jeff Goldbloom?
TheGhostofElizabethShue
That's the 80s remake when it got SEXY

Whoa!

I'm so tired...
edenknitty
I feel that in my soul. It's exhausting.
SassySailor
Great so the unvaccinated are eventually going fuck over us responsible ones. Surprise surprise

Fuck anti-vaxxers. At this point we need to be calling out and ousting these disease spreading motherfuckers

Meanwhile in my crapass little town, people have decided the pandemic was over a year ago, if it even existed. >90% stopped wearing masks.
DemogorgonDog
So you live in a southern town too
Pokegeologist
Cotton and ranching town on the TX Gulf Coast. Whole county is about 25k people.

Reports say Boris Johnson has agreed to scrap mask and social distancing laws, while we're still the most infected country in Europe.
thesmelge
His new health secretary is advocating removing all restrictions as well. They don't care about consequences, just popularity.
thesmelge
But it's ok, because the people who are fully vaccinated just happen to fall into Tory voter categories. All this stuff about protecting...
thesmelge
people more susceptible and putting lives on hold, but once they're sorted, literally fuck everyone else.
BeingTheGuythatshere
In addition the uk will host the em Final with 40K people in the Stadium. 10/10 will superspread again
mmiigg
And BC just lifted its mask requirement. So dumb.
CaldariBob
Kenney lifted Alberta's so that the Stampede could happen. Tens of thousands of drunk, unvaccinated cellar dwellers in close proximity...
CaldariBob
...what could go wrong?
mmiigg
Big pharma is like, "what could go right?!" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I have 'people I know' who still think it's a cold.
TheRealPumpkinQueen
I live in a state where people think that rolling in cow shit all day and drinking from a hose makes them Super Tough and immune.
IVerifyPeoplesUsernames
I'm still keeping my mask on.
NKato
My mother is vaccine hesitant. Not a straight up anti vaxxer but close. She's worried about potential immuno deficiency.
NKato
I've been trying to get her to get vaccinated anyway and I'm telling her that the Delta variant will absolutely kill her.
SisterMidnight
I hope you show her the article.

Glad I slogged through this. Ignorance might be bliss, but it's short lived.

nevergoingtogiveyouupnevergoingtoletyoudown
Canada offered to build a plant to produce the vaccine for the 3rd world so they get it sooner but it still wont be producing till early '22
SisterMidnight
I’m very fond of Canada.
nevergoingtogiveyouupnevergoingtoletyoudown
Its in everyone's best interest that everyone be vaccinated as quickly as possible to prevent more variants.
McBlech
I updooted...'cause I'm CANADIAAAAN! ?? It'd be cool to visit you, too, 'cause I'm fully vaccinated...where y'at?

Trump will be be fried in the History books
GenerallyLurkInBed
I’ve been wondering about that too. What will be said about him in 100 years?
Farinhadefigo
Assuming there will be humans left to write history books

4 days away from the first shot, and I'm getting closer and closer to catching it as well... Fun.
edenknitty
Keep masking, keep washing, stay vigilant, you got this!
SisterMidnight
Hang in there.

There lifting all restrictions on 19th July in England and there's a huge increase in new cases, so that's happening!

Our health minister was on PornHub. The man who fucked the whole world, then cheated on his wife. Spectacular bellend! Boris is a simp...

I'm pissed at the "2 vaccines means no quarantine when travelling." I'm not going anywhere, but given it's older generations vaccinated...
thesmelge
it's literally saying the people we spent 18 months protecting are now free to fuck off abroad, and screw everyone under 40.
BookOfLove101
Going to be a lot of resentment
thesmelge
It's the "I'm alright, fuck everyone else" attitude. People put their lives on hold, and a significant number are taking advantage.
thesmelge
Amazing how it just so happens that's the age group that have a higher than average number of Tory voters. Fuck Boris.
Someshithead241
Just to remind people. Not all of the unvaccinated dead will have been unvaccinated by choice
Norrah
I've jumped on every chance to get it.. and my first shot is in four days... Not by choice
wipethatfaceoffyourheadbitch
Yeah those immunocompromised and kids under 12 are real ignorant assholes /s
SisterMidnight
That is an important reminder
DrewSmith0
You can't cure stupid.
SisterMidnight
You can protect yourself as best you can from stupid, though
DrewSmith0
I do my best to distance myself from stupid whenever possible.
thespaceneedle
This is bullshit! You’re telling me that science works?!?! Get the F outta here!

Exactly! I don't know anyone who has died from covid. /s

Ornado
I would say lets just let all of em die but then i worry for those whom are high risk and can't GET the vaccine like cancer patients.
Ornado
So now im stuck between wanting these people to suffer and not wanting high risk people like cancer patients to suffer for these idiots.
Ornado
Cuz i mean...at this point not getting the vaccine you're just an idiot and w/e happens to you suuuucks, but your actions effect others...
Ornado
And i don't want THOSE people to suffer....
counterfeitdreams
It also allows the virus to have more hosts to mutate in leaving the vaccinated people at risk
SisterMidnight
I don’t want anyone to suffer, I just want everyone to be safe, but I sympathize with your dilemma.
datphone777365
Fucked up part is those fuckwits become spawning pools for new variants that may fuck us over.
LesbianRedwings
Seriously! My housemate IS vaxxed, but immunocomped and studies show that she’s basically not. She tried, and now has no choice but to >>
LesbianRedwings
Hope that the people around her stay safe and vaxxed. I’m fully vaxxed and wear a mask everywhere. I’m not going to be the reason she dies.
erroniousmaximus
TLDR: if you’re a fucking idiot, you’re likely gonna get yours with the delta variant. Better to die unvaxxed than live with free 5G, right?
Dankking
Damn right. FREEEEDOM MERICA - the south
McBlech
Had my second Moderna shot Friday, but my phone still says LTE...maybe my mask is blocking the signal.
counterfeitdreams
Yeah but did you go from 2 bars of service to 3?
McBlech
Crap, I forgot signal strength through the mask. Okay, mask off, AND I cut the short sleeves off'f my t-shirt...3 BAR 5G there it is!

I'm sitting at the waiting area after receiving first Pfizer shot 5 min ago. FINALLY!!!

Drink lots of water and stay in light motion. Thanks for doing your part!
SisterMidnight
Congratulations! Well done!?

Had my second Moderna on Friday and am keeping a mask on while oot 'n aboot. I'M INVINCIBLE!

Congrats!
CreepyPhlox
I’d been taking fertility treatments and my doc said not to get vaccinated cuz they don’t know yet how they’ll interact. My hubby and I…
CreepyPhlox
…finally said getting pregnant isn’t worth me dying from covid so I went ahead and got vaccinated. Shit’s crazy yo.
SisterMidnight
I’m pretty sure you can be vaccinated and get fertility treatments.
CreepyPhlox
I was waiting for my doc to make that decision.
SisterMidnight
A wise move, no doubt.
wipethatfaceoffyourheadbitch
Aww man. I’m sorry you had to put that on hold. But it’ll be so much sweeter when everyone can safely snuggle the babe. It’s been so hard1/2

That’s so disturbing!

Let them stay where they lay. Every idiot deserves what they get.
MegPintDear
Did you read this post? Did you pay attention to the part about increasing infection rates leading to more variants?
mormacil
Less votes for the GOP in 2022 and 2024
datphone777365
Bigger issue is those fuckwits become spawning pools for nastier variants.
brickgeek
They also seem to have a lot of idiot kids.
Iammoe
GOP are scared because tan man has his own party.
iusedtodream
I'm fully vaccinated. After reading this looks like I'll be wearing my mask indoors again.
tReasonoustRump
?
SeriousSeamstress
I will wear a mask until next year. Rather be safe than sorry.
khora
Why not both?
datphone777365
Expect to do so for atleast 2 more...
SeriousSeamstress
... I'm trying to be an optimist. But if it's needed it's needed.
DaierMune
Yeah it was nice having those three weeks where I felt almost safe
afatrollofmyown
Sure was. We're back to April 2020, I feel.
CelestialDancerChick
My husband and I have decided our masks aren't coming off for at least another year. Maybe longer.
CelestialDancerChick
And, yes. We're vaccinated.
Sjama
Starting from 1. July wearing masks in Hotels/Restaurants (if you have a negative test or at least 3 weeks after the first vaccine) is not..
Sjama
obligatory anymore (Austria). I work at a hotel. I am over 3 weeks after the first vaccine. I am still wearing a mask and will continue even
Sjama
after my second vaccine. I find the new rule stupid, but at least in shops it's still obligatory and 2/3 of the guests still wear a mask
ColdSquirrel
That just sounds like a dumb way for people to decide stop after 1 shot instead of both
Sjama
I agree. However, it's only valid until 3 months after the first shot, if they didn't do the second. After the second shot validity is...
KillingMeDjently
Was watching the Austrian GP, and literally the only people wearing masks were the F1 teams and the FIA people. It was disconcerting...

It makes no demonstrable difference outdoors.
