Now that the CDC and President Biden have said — finally — that you don’t need to wear a mask if you’ve been vaccinated against the coronavirus (or do you?), the New York Times believes that “people who choose to continue to cover their faces have become targets of public ire.” Really? We don’t think “ire” is the word for it, and for as many posts as we’ve done on videos of masked maniacs threatening the unmasked, we haven’t yet seen any videos of people wearing masks being harassed out of grocery stores by a mob.

The Times reports:
Whenever Joe Glickman heads out for groceries, he places an N95 mask over his face and tugs a cloth mask on top of it. He then pulls on a pair of goggles.
He has used this safety protocol for the past 14 months. It did not change after he contracted the coronavirus last November. It didn’t budge when, earlier this month, he became fully vaccinated. And even though President Biden said on Thursday that fully vaccinated people do not have to wear a mask, Mr. Glickman said he planned to stay the course.
In fact, he said, he plans to do his grocery run double-masked and goggled for at least the next five years.
More power to him, if that’s his choice.

I wonder if he has any idea how many viruses & bacteria he encountered every day before COVID-19?

Around these parts, they were set to ban plastic bags … until the coronavirus hit, and then reusable bags weren’t allowed because it turns out they were too germy. Huh.
And that’s ok.

Good. What ever he’s got, I don’t want to catch it.

I plan to ask liberals who keep wearing masks after they are vaccinated why don't they believe in science, are you are Trump supporter?

It’s a bubble. Not really his fault; it’s the media complex selling a story.

This is what happens when you believe the media and the CDC.

Why is anyone reporting on this? Do what you want. I don’t care.

Why is the Times reporting on this? Because it’s hard out there for the masked:
In interviews, vaccinated people who continue to wear masks said they are increasingly under pressure, especially in recent days; friends and family have urged them to relax, or even have suggested that they are paranoid. On a recent trip to the grocery store, Mr. Glickman said he was stared down by a man who entered, unmasked.
Rachel Maddow is definitely paranoid, having the need to “rewire” herself not to see the unmasked as “a threat.”
Well, good for him.

he can do it in a hazmat suit as well for all I care, as long as he leaves me the hell alone.

For some, masks are somewhat of a security blanket. It’s regression to a child like state of mind.

Oh let them be, if it makes them feel safe…..it seems like ridiculous overkill, but they aren’t hurting anyone as in, blocking traffic with bats and bricks at the ready…

Whatever floats their boat.

He says that but most of the mask worshippers do it because they are afraid to be different, not wanting to stand out from the herd. As soon as he realizes most others are not wearing them, he'll stop too due to the same fear.

What cracks me up is we don’t give a rat’s ass how many masks he wants to wear and for how long; it’s his personal choice. The problem is ppl like this dude are demanding we all do the same. pic.twitter.com/lTWTsXkJ6T

If we do run across a video of a mob of people driving a man with a mask out of a store, we’ll be sure to do a post.
