Well a lot of people have told me I should have worn a mask before the pandemic.

Exactly the way I see it. For the most part, the people who are getting it are getting it from not being vaxxed and continuing to do stupid shit outside of public areas. Telling them to continue to wear a mask in public is worthless if they continue to gather and do other shit on their own anyway. People who've been vaccinated are protected. We lived 14 months under this shit to get to this moment so don't throw away an opportunity to start living your lives again.

I totally get the “at this point, if you aren’t vaxxed or at least in the process of getting vaxxed, you have no one to blame but yourself” sentiment, but as someone with a 7 year old (i.e. too young to be eligible for a vaccine), the stubborn anti-vax stupidity of some people still makes me a little nervous.

I’m just the type of guy before the pandemic who walks across the street if I see some dude coughing or sneezing down the block. People are disgusting.

People revving up phlegms and shit ugh
Going to be completely honest here. Little weary of my 74 year old father walking around maskless even though he's been vaxxed. I know it's paranoia but it's like learning how to live again I guess. It's going to take some time
If you can convert into a photon I say go for it

I’m aware, but I also know that the kid of one of my best friends got it in December and was hospitalized three times in the ensuing four months because of recurring complications. Did the kid die? Thankfully no, but these past few months have still been brutal for their family.
Again, I know this is the exception and not the norm, but it still makes me a little uneasy, especially when I have close family members who refuse to get vaxxed.

It's disconcerting how many people were clueless about the importance of hand washing and hand sanitizing before the pandemic. People are GD animals, man.

You see that shit in movies, too, people taking a piss and walking out like nothing.

I am still concerned for my children. It is likely that more than one of them have inherited my disease and even if it were not fatal now, the long term effects—that we have not been able to study, obviously—could be brutal on their lungs as they age. We’re extremely eager for vaccines for the children.
All my family took vaccines so we're ok. But if my grandma held out for well it would be five whole months now I would have minimal sympathy and wouldn't know what to say.

I was being 100% facetious based on your line about being sorry if any of our family was like that. I don’t have a Gam Gam.

Only antivaxxers in extended family are my girlfriend's aunt & uncle. Who both got COVID after their Easter dinner. Uncle is just now mostly breathing without a ventilator after a few weeks on it. So again...just a prime example of why you shouldn't be an antivaxxer.

MA is opening on 5/29 (with some select places still requiring masks, e.g. hospitals, etc.). Still crazy that it's been literally over 12 months of mask-wearing...

West Virginia to offer trucks and guns as Covid vaccine incentives
As 41 percent of West Virginia residents are fully vaccinated against Covid-19, the state is stepping up its incentives for vaccinations by offering trucks and guns to those who receive at least one dose of the vaccine. NBC News’ Gary Grumbach breaks down how West Virginia is hoping to bolster...

I hope Tennesse will retroactively offer similar, because I'd love me a Winchester repeater

Here in Ohio, they are giving away a million dollars a week for 5 weeks. Thankfully, it’s open to anyone who has been vaccinated (before or after the contest was announced).
The state couldn’t have ended up with a better winner yesterday. The guy said he had been on the fence about getting vaccinated, but once he found out he could win a million dollars, he got the shot right away. I hope more people around here ignore the odds and follow his lead.

I also saw that Portland, Maine has over 85% vaccination rates in all three zip codes (plus presumably it's not far behind here in the suburbs) so it looks like herd immunity is reachable in this little nook of the country.
