Already seeing a lot of chatter about the mask news from CDC that, in essence, goes like this:
"Well, how do we know that unvaccinated people won't lie and opt not to wear a mask?"
And the truth is... we don't and we won't.
Should you care? No... (and maybe a little yes)

First of all... it's time to stop worrying about what others are doing.
If you've been vaccinated... you're in good shape.
The chances of you getting sick have gone WAY down. And the odds of you getting really sick are WAY, WAY down.
This is critical.

If you're around unvaccinated people...
...the risk is theirs. Not yours.
You're safe, they're not.
If we say we "trust the science," then now is the time to prove it. Science is screaming in our faces. The vaccines work. Remarkably well.

The list of reasons why people can't get vaccinated is dwindling.
And it's now becoming a personal choice thing.
Either you want it, or you don't.
And if you elect not to get it, when it's THIS available, that's your choice (with some exceptions)

I say, thanks to what I've mentioned above, it's time to stop focusing on what others are doing... and concentrate on what you can do.
If you're on the fence, I hope you elect to get vaccinated. It'll not only protect you, but -- perhaps more importantly -- it'll help others too

There's just one important caveat
Even now, there are plenty of people who simply cannot get vaccinated. Most of them are kids.
Kids like my 11 year old daughter.
The more unvaccinated adults around, the more those who can't get vaccinated are at risk.
We can't forget that

But... thankfully... the vaccines have done A TON to protect the most vulnerable...
...those with serious underlying conditions and the elderly.
We've effectively put a shield around people most likely to be hospitalized or to die. That's huge

This is not to say that it doesn't matter what others are doing..
but let's stop focusing on the chance that someone next to you in a store not wearing a mask might be unvaccinated.
in that situation, it's not you who needs to be worried
END
