Covid Mask Update IRL

Okay, so at my store we, as employees, are required to continue wearing a mask. We will let people in without a mask if they are vaccinated but it is being run on the honor code. No paperwork required. We have maybe three people an hour come in without a mask. Most say that they aren't taking it off. Many vaccinated customers say removing it feels weird to them. I want to scream in their faces that wanting to wear a mask when you are virtually immune to the virus you fear is weird! The last 15 months of fear porn and doomsday prognostications has mentally fissured a majority of the public. It's shocking. We as Americans have been divided for years religiously, politically, racially and now we are divided scientifically. I had a fully masked, gloved and vaccinated lady the other day call the one guy in the store not masked up "dirty" and "uneducated". I'm beaten down and tired of it all. 14 months of scared and broken people that I've had to cater to has in turn broken me. Not the virus.

The human condition projects hope and faith onto topics they can’t control.

Tell me how “trust the science” isn’t a religion as this point, with its rules and rituals to try to put people in good favor with the covid gods.

True, I’ve stopped talking to my Portland and Seattle family because they’re too entrapped in the bullshit to even want to see the truth. If they saw the truth they’d have no path forward without revolt and they don’t want to do that.

The kids out of school dimension is what has broken everyone.
