Americans who are unvaccinated...some may indeed be jerks, but a sizable number are kids under 12 years old...like my three G-kids...who are not yet able to get the vaccines. Due to protocols/regulations, approvals won't be coming until after November from what I'm hearing (ID Doc)...everyone wishes it were sooner, but the rules are there for a reason...so, until then, I'm hoping that we can all pull together for a little longer and do what we've been doing...i.e. wear a mask when in close proximity to others indoors...the attached article, btw, demonstrates that children are indeed vulnerable...and being American as opposed to Indonesian means nothing to the COVID virus.
Frankly, as much as I scratch my head over adults who should know better, they are real people who are integral members of our society, doing jobs that likely serve us all well...we need to protect them too...and minimizing COVID threats is how we do it.
Again, and I can't thank Baron enough (seriously), his MIT report was data driven and it proves that masking is remarkably effective in reducing COVID transmission...absolutely no doubt about it, so please don't assume otherwise.
