I understand why some may not want to get vaccinated but I dunno, I'm just getting tired of this because who knows when we will leave "mask world" and I really hope this really will not be our new normal for the next like 5 years, eugh... lol I just want things to go back to normal now y'know? I understand that covid was serious when it first hit and a lot of people did get affected by it (including myself, I caught it back in 2020) but I feel like we more or less have a better handle on it now then we did in 2020.

I get that, really. But I don't believe anymore that the officials pushing 'mask mandates' are doing it because of valid data that it prevents/fights covid infections. The masks in particular, there's never been strong evidence that they do much, and "typical use" by the average person(keep reusing a single dirty mask they keep waded up somewhere in the car) is negligible at best and actively harmful to the person's health at worst. So why the mandates? And what number of vaccinations will be enough? I went along with it back when it first hit and it did seem like a serious threat. Now I'm just tired of the constant shifting goalposts and genuinely POSITIVE signs of it subsiding that are being ignored by the media/government. So I agree with everything you're saying here, I just think the blame needs to be on those in power.
