In reply to the discussion: CDC says fully vaccinated Americans no longer need masks indoors or outdoors in most cases [View all]littlemissmartypants

If you are vaccinated the chance of you getting sick with or without the mask is about the same.

If the non-vaccinated get sick from Covid, my sympathy level is dropping fast.

We're nothing like India as we have vaccinated a significant portion of our population.

Has your neighbor gotten his kids and wife the vaccine? If not, why not?
