I appear to hold an unusual in-between opinion on COVID restrictions, because I'm actually against continuing mask mandates. IMO, masks have a very clear downside: in terms of psychological well-being, the ability to see faces and reading expressions is actually incredibly important! So even if there's a public health benefit to universal masking, it's not worth the trade-off except in extremely exceptional circumstances.
But vaccines? Just get vaccinated!
- perl4ever 5y ago>taking this vaccine lowers the risk measurably Is there really clear evidence of a meaningful effect of a booster at this point, for people not in specific categories? I assumed not, or else they would be recommending it. Personally, I got a pretty strong reaction to my second shot, and I'm not eager to experience that or worse again, nor am I sure that the severity of the reaction implies its efficacy.
- Wowfunhappy 5y agoNo, not right now, which is why the definition of "fully vaccinated" hasn't changed. I guess the difference between us is, I'm very confident the definition will only be changed when and if that evidence exists.
