One of my problems with masks, for example; is that COVID is already prevalent in wildlife. That was known last summer. Chasing "less exposure" via masks after that is silly, seems to me.

I'm delighted they're making the vaccines freely available as they are. That's a magnificent success that is not yet as well celebrated as it deserves. Making vaccination status an issue, instead of immune status; is so stupid one has to wonder if it could be intentional. Especially as they keep doubling down on such decisions.
