Yes of course it does, right up until it runs up against one person's personal choices impacting someone else's health. C'mon dcm, you know this already.
I'm vehemently anti anti-vaxxer, but the mask thing is overblown at this point. I work in ICUs, and most freaking health care workers don't even give a excrement about wearing masks and wearing them properly anymore.
If someone isn't vaccinated and boosted, and taking all their appropriate precautions at this point that's on freaking them. If you have cancer or aids or anything else making you vulnerable you should be wearing an n95 at this point and avoiding people who don't wear masks.
I'm cool with mandating masks for mass gatherings/events out of extreme precautions (ie sports concerts) but freak off with the rest of the world already. This shits endemic or close to it, let people live like people again.
Irresponsible behavior always has and always will have a profound impact on others. Maybe it's not always as direct or widespread as with covid, but it always exist.
Regardless at this point the only, only freaking purpose mask serve is as a tool to flatten the curve. And recently hosptials have started to improve drastically.
In my opinion, rather than encouraging people to be burnt out and either ignore or bend the rules (ie not wearing masks and not wearing them properly) I'd rather see the CDC lift the masks mandate and bring it back when it's when needed and will do the most good (ie when a new variant dominates the world and things become overbearing again)
I think every reasonable person could agree that people not being vaccinated is the biggest problem. So if saying hey if yorie fully vaccinated and boosted you don't need to wear a mask anymore incentives people to go get vaccinated, then that will do more good than the masks
