[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bowser and Nesbitt like the mask mandate because it distracts from the fact that they aren't doing what they should be: getting more DC residents (particularly African Americans, who have the lowest vaccination rates by race nationwide) the shot. Easier to make anxious white liberals in DC think they're "doing something" by making everyone mask all the time.

Problem is, some communities (AAs and Trumpsters particularly in the South) will refuse vaccination no matter what. I think the responsible, vaccinated public shouldn't have to wear masks in perpetuity to protect them and their bad choices. We are past that point. This is now endemic. We have to learn to live with it without destroying businesses and forcing small children to wear masks all day. We have vaccines; we will soon have even better therapeutics for those who do fall ill. It's time to stop the insanity.

And it is bad for democracy to use irrational public fear to hand over expanded powers to officials with no foreseeable end date. The temporary emergency is over. We need to hold our elected officials accountable and strip them of those emergency powers. [/quote]

As we saw from the brief period in the summer when mask mandates were lifted, there is no way to prove or verify that only unvaccinated people mask and vaccinated people don’t have to mask. Anyone irresponsible enough not to be vaccinated will have no issue going around maskless. [/quote]
