I had thought that this topic would be finished by now, but no....another email today, stating that we all must still wear masks while in public in order to protect those who haven’t been vaccinated. WHAT? I believe that by now everyone who wants to have the vaccine can get it....it’s readily available. If that’s the case, why must the rest of us wear masks because some people are either careless or too lazy to get the vaccine? That’s nuts.

Who sent you the e-mail? As for not getting the vax, some people are unable to get it.

Sent by a member of a group we belong to, and it was worthy of an eye roll. If someone can’t get the vaccine for some health reason, shouldn’t they be the ones to take precautions? I don’t want to be callous, but wearing masks long term seems ridiculous. From a purely selfish standpoint, hearing/understanding the mask wearer speak is very difficult. JMO

Completely agree, although I am curious to see how the numbers go in a couple of weeks. My sister was at a bar a couple of nights ago. She said it looked like a super spreader event. And that’s from someone who has been in FL since September.

I'm with you--I'm vaxxed and have little sympathy for those who aren't, but I am edging slowly into demasking. Being close to a few people should not be a concern, but I'm not returning to the mosh pit any time soon

I’m pretty sure those that decide not to get the vaccine would not be looking for sympathy from anyone. JMO

Oops--I forget how literal some readers are. "Sympathy" is sort of a figure of speech or shorthand. I was agreeing with Sue and Gily that the unvaxxed should not get very much policy consideration at this point. (at least those who are unvaxxed as a matter of choice)

Sympathy is not a figure of speech. I respect peoples choice to get vaccinated or not. Nobody should be forced to be vaccinated. Again JMO. You don’t like my opinion that’s your prerogative.

No one has posted that people should be forced to be vaccinated, and no one has posted anything disrespectful, so I'm mystified by your comments.

Who said anything about disrespect? You interpret and always look for issues to argue about you don’t read. All I did was state my opinion on the subject of vaccination. Like it or don’t makes no difference to me. It’s a person right to decide what’s best for them.

Joey, I think Flying was merely trying to explain his use of the word sympathy, not trying to start something. Please relax. If you want to tell me to MYOB, I can take it. 😇 Happy Memorial Day. 🎉💥🎉

Not at all. I do like your optimistic point of view but every time I post he digs looking to start an argument. I never said anything personal about his post just stated my opinion and his misinterpretation of the word sympathy which he obviously didn’t like

Enjoy your weekend. Happy Memorial Day. God bless.
