Until the vaccine rate is around 70% fully vaccinated, I’ll continue to wear a mask indoors (even though I’m fully vaccinated) in the unlikely event I become infected and would be asymptomatic, I don’t want to risk transmitting the virus to others who are unable to get the vaccine itself.
continue that maskurbating.
Fauci, the grand poobah, said non GMA this morning he’s not wearing a mask indoors.
Rand Paul called it theatre.........he was right.

The saddest part about the whole Covid saga was the number of people that just went along with, and believed whatever the government told them. No critical thinking. No questioning "the narrative." Just blindly believing whatever excrement they threw against the wall.
“The crude estimates show a higher incidence of testing positive for COVID-19 in the groups that used face masks more frequently, with 8.6% of participants who never or almost never used masks, 15.0% of participants who sometimes used masks, and 15.1% of participants who almost always or always used masks reporting a positive test result,” the researchers wrote in their paper.
“The risk was 1.74 (1.38 to 2.18) times higher in those who wore face masks often or sometimes and 1.75 (1.39 to 2.21) times higher in those who wore face masks almost always or always, compared to participants who reported never or almost never wore masks.”
According to the data, higher cases of Covid were reported among those who wore masks more often.

Those statistics are not very meaningful without adjusting them for other risk factors.
For example, if you worked from home, then you probably never wore masks and were at no risk. Or if you live in a rural area where there is very little Covid to begin with and you're probably socially distancing just in your normal day-to-day activities, then you probably weren't wearing a mask and were probably fine.
If you want meaningful statistics, then you need to compare, say, fast food workers in major cities who wore masks with fast food workers in major cities who didn't wear masks.
I don't know what the results of such a study would be (that's why you do studies) ... but you can't just compare all people who wore masks with all people who didn't because there are too many other factors.
