The reason for tossing the mask mandate is because ( my opinion ) so many millions of people got Covid and recovered, added to those that have been vaccinated an we have technically reached "herd immunity" but because the scientist wouldn't acknowledge that millions of Americans already had anti-bodies and didn't need the vaccination, we have arrived at the point at which we find ourselves.
I hear a report tonight about Bill Mahr and a few Yankee baseball players that have tested positive after having been vaccinated and a scientist said, not to worry, they will most likely remain asymptomatic and can't give Covid to anybody else. There are apparently, a few thousand cases like this but something like 13 have died that can't be explained like "they died from something else".
In other words, nobody is worried yet that the vaccine doesn't work for the vast majority that take it but as in all things, there are outliers.

In the beginning of this BS last year a retired Internist friend of mine told me that when a vaccine is ready the world won't even need it. Some folks likely had COVID in mid to late 2019 and then those same folks got it again in 2020. Some folks never even knew they had it....yada yada the list goes on. Masks don't work yet CDC says to do it and even wear 2 or three lmao.
Anyways, Biden can GFH if he thinks he can force anyone to take a drug especially one with no proven long term side effects. Should high risk folks take it? Probably. But 80% of the population doesn't need it.
