it's crazy. from what i can tell, it's because if they let in EU citizens, they would have to recognize the EU digital covid certificate
which they think would piss of Trump voters, b/c it discriminates between vax and unvax
it's all being driven by Jeff Zients for political reasons, apparently
Maybe but it still doesn’t make sense because people from other countries can enter the US with a negative test. If it was sensitivity about the COVID certificate, surely just let Europeans in with a negative test?
I mean masks in the vaccine era are doing more harm than good in my personal opinion
Youre not convincing vaccine skeptics to get the vaccine by saying that things wont go back to normal even if they do
Vaccination should be prioritized over mask compliance imo
Why not both lmao
especially weird because most of the Schengen Zone has higher vax rates than US does at this point
And there’s hella Americans in the tourist spots in Europe right now lmao so it feels vaguely f***ed up Europeans can’t go to the US just off that
people who want masks with a vax out are insecure and want everyone else to cover their face so they feel better about themselves
I’m not wearing no f***ing mask unless I’m in an airport or somewhere where I absolutely have to.
I’m from Oregon and we just got over the f***ing mask mandate everywhere last month. And my state is over 70% vaccinated. Including myself. At this point if you get sick and your unvaccinated, I really don’t give a s*** what your reason is.
Funky breath ass boy

Might have to go back to selfie avi just to shut this idiot up
Why not both lmao
Because most people dont wanna live a life where they have to wear masks all the time
So the right thing to do would be to encourage the "Vaccine = No masks" mentality because saying "Even if you got both shots you still need to wear a mask" isnt enticing people to get the vaccine lmao
Dudes already willingly wanting mask mandates
Next they gonna embrace yearly winter lockdowns
What’s next.
We’re at a point where you can’t even blame them for implementing all these restrictions when the collective embrace it with open arms and even chastise others for not also laying down
Forgot where I heard this
The mask is like a condom
The vax is like birth control
YOU CAN STILL GET PREGNANT B****

100% agree
Let’s be realistic, COVID Is probably never going completely away because of how strong the anti vaxx movement is, so at this point there’s nothing else we can really do. As long as the medically vulnerable are protected, that’s all I really care about.

so optional. got it.

I think the logic is this:
there are Americans traveling to Europe right now (I just came back from Italy)
if we accept Europeans into the US, we'd probably have to admit them using vaccination status as a criteria, b/c delta is spreading so heavily there and vaccines are plentiful, unlike other countries we are currently letting in
then, if we're admitting Europeans based on vax, there would be pressure to admit US citizens traveling into the EU back into the US using vaccination status - currently you need a negative test
that, in Biden admin's thinking, would lead to Trump voter anger, social division, etc. - as if that isn't already happening
Also all those disposable masks people use are terrible for the environment
The pandemic creates 7200 tons of waste every day most of which are from masks
Like masks were supposed to be the temporary solution now Vaccines/Booster Shots should be the permanent solution
people who want masks with a vax out are insecure and want everyone else to cover their face so they feel better about themselves
what sorta mental gymnastics
so optional. got it.
It is optional
Nobody is making you
You could die. You could harm others. But whatever right?
the problem w encouraging universal mask-wearing is it's 'punishing' vaccinated and unvaccinated equally
thus won't do anything to increase vaccination rates
How is wearing a mask punishment?
It’s just the most effective way of the non spreading of the virus. Always has been

mfers just got complexes man aint nothing to do about it
if places actually had you show you were vaxxed to be unmasked the anti would’ve folded already.
Do you triple mask? if not you could harm others
its triple layer, not triple mask dawg lmfao

it is a punishment/burden to plenty of people, i'm not speaking for myself
the point is that it creates the same rules for unvaxxed and vaxxed people, which is not what is needed right now
it's less about restraining the virus rn and more about getting people to get the vaccine
