2. Just goes to show...

Just goes to show that vaccinated people still need to mask. While all their symptoms are mild, they can still pass it on to others.

3. My son & I both double mask every day at school and work.

We add face shields in doctor and dental offices.

6. "Mild" is relative

and fully vaccinated people are still dying. A tiny fraction, statistically speaking, but a real life with real implications.

Massachusetts had 18 deaths of fully vaccinated people in the past week.

Which is why I double mask.
