18.7 Million Americans Vaccinated

What exactly is so difficult about wearing masks for Americans?

I'm an expat living in Thailand, which has an exceptionally low number of cases due to consistent mask use and social precautions.

Even if the vaccine reaches a level of saturation that is deemed safe, wearing a mask is a sane precaution that does not hurt you in any way and potentially saves lives of those unable to receive the vaccine.

Individual freedom trumps community welfare.

Who cares if my action causes problems for anybody else, yeah Freedom FREEDOM!!!! I'm the most important person in the world!!! ME ME ME ME ME My rights!!!! Freedom, oh and anything else is ism.

swap in whatever ism is the flavour or the month, I have no idea what any of them mean, but they are all BAD!!!

Sorry... couldn't help myself. There is something disgusting about how people cry freedom as an excuse to take actions that place everybody they encounter at risk.

I think you'll find people will hide behind the mask of "liberty", but in reality it's a mix of stupidity, laziness and selfishness.
