What's The End Game?

 So after seeing more and more people decide to put their masks back on most likely due to being scared by the "delta variant" news. We have seen certain places in the US re-instate mask mandates. Never mind that we already knew that masks do. Not. Work. To. Stop. Infection. Fauci said it. All the research prior to March 2020 said it. And numerous videos of people blowing air around and through masks. And don't get me started on the massive amounts of people simply not wearing them "correctly".

That said, in the end I believe that people should be free to choose to do so if they wish so long as they leave me alone. I don't force anyone to take Zinc. I don't make them take Quercetin. I don't make them work out. I don't make them eat well. So leave me to do me and you don whatever comfort material that makes you feel better. But unfortunately, it may be the case that we will once again be doing the mandatory "mask shit" again. What's the end game? Let's review the goal post shifting that has gone on.

2 weeks to flatten the curve

2 weeks to flatten the curve --->2 months to flatten the curve.

2 weeks to flatten the curve --->2 months to flatten the curve ---> slow the spread.

2 weeks to flatten the curve --->2 months to flatten the curve ---> slow the spread --> Stop the spread.

2 weeks to flatten the curve --->2 months to flatten the curve ---> slow the spread --> Stop the spread --> Stop the spread until we have a vaccine.

2 weeks to flatten the curve --->2 months to flatten the curve ---> slow the spread --> Stop the spread --> Stop the spread until we have a vaccine. ---> vaccine. still wear these masks.

2 weeks to flatten the curve --->2 months to flatten the curve ---> slow the spread --> Stop the spread --> Stop the spread until we have a vaccine. ---> vaccine. still wear these masks. --> vaccines don't stop infection put the mask back on.

In some places we have:

2 weeks to flatten the curve --->2 months to flatten the curve ---> slow the spread --> Stop the spread --> Stop the spread until we have a vaccine. ---> vaccine. still wear these masks.-->vaccines don't stop infection so lock down to "stop the spread".

This last goal post stand was inevitable because people like me KNEW that vaccines do. Not. Stop. Infections.  And now that the US has a very public example of this in the case of the "fully vaccinated" Texas Democrats who fled to DC taking COVID with them. I'm not going to pile on them. It's not worth it to me because aside from the politics they did nothing wrong. The entire purpose of a vaccine is to keep you from getting severely ill or dying. It does nothing to stop a virus from entering your body.

How is it that the public was not made to understand this? Why is this news. This is Homer Simpson levels of "duh".

This is why I said from the beginning that the POINT should have been to reduce or avoid symptoms not this silly ass "Zero COVID".  Avoiding the symptoms is doable without vaccines for most people. Others with certain co-morbities MAY have to consider medical intervention. At this point anyone who wants to take the shot can do so. At this point there should be ZERO restrictions or mandates anywhere.

Take it or don't take it.

But why are certain places bringing back masks and perhaps even considering other restrictions again? What is the end game now? The "vaccine" was supposed to be the "light at the end of the tunnel". If that's not it, then what's the end game?
