It's amazing that anti-maskers claim to be all about "personal freedom" yet they jump all over those who choose to wear masks even when it's voluntary. Such hypocrites.

What are you talking about? No one is "jumping all over those who choose to wear masks." Several posts above yours even specifically state "No. But if you want to, go ahead." and "I won’t. But I don’t care if you do. You do you"

Stop lying.

LOL ok. That's why there are posts in this thread saying that "NO!" and calling people who wear masks "paranoid."

Wearing masks without a scientific reason is evidence of paranoia. A healthy immune system needs to be exposed to a variety of viruses, the common cold, etc. To be masked is entirely appropriate when there is a pandemic and no vaccine available. We're past that stage and into a stage where vaccination is the solution. Masks are theater at this point. If you didn't wear a mask when your toddler's class had an outbreak of the common cold a couple of years ago, there's no rational reason you'd need to mask up against the current covid variants in circulation now.

Hello. The scientific reason is that they stem covid transmission. A new BA strain is on the rise, and not everyone manifests as a cold, even w/ vaccination. Also, some of us connect with more vulnerable people. KN95s are effective at preventing an infected person from spreading and someone from getting covid. Cloth masks are effective at preventing an infected person from spreading but not as effective to prevent the wearer from getting covid (esp omicron). Distance and air circulation help prevent spread as well. If our kid's graduation were inside, and we were all packed together, I would be wearing a mask. But, our graduation is outdoors, so I will bring my mask in case we are really close together in the bleachers, but, if not, won't wear one as I'll be outdoors.

^Cloth masks are not effective.

Honestly COVID is the least of my worries at graduation. I am more concerned by protests and bad behavior by parents for the selection of the guest speaker.

It is time to move on and live our lives more normally. Anyone who wants to wear a mask should. Those of us who are vaccinated and boosted, including may of us who have had covid, should be free to go maskless.

+1. Paranoid people can keep masking for life.

You do you but don’t be a judgmental jerk.

We need to do another college pick-up one week later and then a vacation. We will be masked. I do not have time to isolate.

NP. It's probably Fauci, who is speaking at a few college graduations.

Untrue.

I had a woman yell across the street at me, that it was unnecessary to wear masks outdoors (this was more than a year ago).

I let her know that I had a PhD in Public Health, so did not need her advice.

One person tried to give you some helpful information "more than a year ago," and you're still obsessing over it and extrapolating that into a belief that all people who don't wear masks are "hypocrites" who want to control other people?

You need help (and not just because you have a PhD in public health and are wearing a mask outdoors).

No way. Is he really? That’s ballsy. He is so universally disliked at this point. Guess he’s not busy, what with the pandemic being over and all.
