Governor of Illinois said today that even in Phase 5 - anticipated on June 11th - the mask mandate will be in place "to protect those who are unvaccinated"?

Um, no.

This makes zero sense for at least three reasons... [THREAD]

1) "The unvaccinated" include natural immunity from prior infection or T-cells. Good discussion of that w/ @MartyMakary & @profvrr here: https://www.medpagetoday.com/blogs/marty-makary/92434?xid=nl_covidupdate_2021-05-06&eun=g1755992d0r&utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=DailyUpdate_050621&utm_term=NL_Gen_Int_Daily_News_Update_active

They">https://www.medpagetoday.com/blogs/mar... aren& #39;t dead & will be fine

2) "The unvaccinated" don& #39;t want or need the Governor& #39;s protection. Cloth doesn& #39;t stop viruses, & everyone who wants a vaccine can get one. Nothing prevents it.

Just like with flu (which cloth doesn& #39;t stop either).

3) The vaccinated & unvaccinated include people who aren& #39;t at risk of severe outcomes from COVID infection. Why make them continue to pretend they are sick or fearful?

Why force the vaccinated to pretend the vaccine doesn& #39;t work? Terrible PR for the vax, if nothing else

Here& #39;s what we need: Outcry from ALL Illinoisans, regardless of vax status, about the nonsensical year-plus, never-ending https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😷" title="Gesicht mit Mundschutz" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Mundschutz">mandate. It& #39;s been a YEAR. Didn& #39;t work.

And you can& #39;t stand against it for adults, at least stand against it for kids & teens.
