If i am correct in June, CZ goverment will allow "overtaking" in queue for getting jab. Who wants to get jab faster can pay for it... Also we are vaccinating only 45+ people at the moment, + ill ones....You can walk in and get a shot in Oregon, no registration needed. 'Vaccinated don't means you cant spread the virus' but if most of us are vaccinated it can't spread far before being neutralized by the bodies defenses and if it does spread to a no-vaxxer then that's on them. Mask are not going to stop mutations, vaccinations to kill the virus to the point we can easily control hot-spots will.
Why would you want to keep masks when they're no longer necessary?
I think its not Biden, but men in black =).Biden is doing a top notch job. Even without comparison to the pathetic, incompetent performance of his predecessor. Vaccinations well ahead of projections. Adapting to the rapidly changing situation as needed to keep things moving. Basing decisions on the best available science.

It's a risk the CDC as taken into consideration with the latest fully vaccinated recommendations. Mutations are easily handled at this point in the USA VAX phase with even Florida cases falling in the presence of several mutations. There is little evidence CV will mutate much beyond the severity of what we see in India and those variants are neutralized by most of the second tier vaccines.
I don't believe it. They also said it could never jump species too.
So how does that work with not wearing masks then? - hardly 'best available science'.
Perhaps you should rephrase? - "best available political decision, never mind the death rate".
Certainly Biden is doing a FAR better job than Trump though.
The change in recommendations was overdue, according to Dr. David Dowdy, an associate professor of infectious disease epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
"I think part of the problem before this was that there was something of a mixed message: The vaccines are very effective, but you still have to wear a mask," Dowdy said. "This is now a strong statement that we know these vaccines work, and for those who are fully vaccinated, it's appropriate to take some steps toward living life a bit more normally."
Data on vaccine performance has been around for a while.
...
Published Feb. 18: The Moderna and Pfizer vaccines protected 31,069 Mayo Clinic and affiliated health system workers from getting the coronavirus in 88.7 percent of cases.
March 23: Out of 8,121 fully vaccinated workers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, four contracted the virus.
March 23: UCLA researchers estimated the risk of testing positive for the virus after vaccination was 1.19 percent for health-care workers at UC San Diego Health and 0.97 percent at UCLA Health.
April 2: The mRNA vaccines were found 90 percent effective in 3,950 vaccinated health-care personnel, first responders and other essential workers in eight U.S. locations.
April 21: Out of 417 fully vaccinated people at Rockefeller University, there were two women with breakthrough infections.
I guess that it is a bit like the safety brief on an aircraft just before take off.If you're full vaccinated with no other medical concerns then wearing a mask is a personal 'choice', one not rooted in science but yours to make nevertheless.
That's not a valid reason IMO.I guess that it is a bit like the safety brief on an aircraft just before take off.
Most people just ignore it, even if they have not been on an aircraft since their last boozy two weeks on the Costa del Warm and Sunny.
It is not "cool" to pay attention to the trolley dolly waving her arms around to show the emergency exits.
However, I once remember at a morning long safety induction presentation for a new offshore oil platform, the subject of aircraft/helicopter safety briefs was discussed.
The presenter made the point that although you may have done it only a couple of days before, there may be some nervous first timer trying hard not to look conspicuous, so just watch the briefing and it may help to put the new boy at ease.
So, back to the covid thing, even if you are a healthy double vaccinee, in an enclosed space with other people, just wear the mask for now while we get the virus completely (?) beaten.

To be fair, the chances of ditching in the sea (and surviving) is a LOT higher in a helicopter in the North Sea than an air liner. Not many air liners crash at sea, or indeed crash at all.

Got any statistics to bare out this claim?
As usual you are misinformed in your beliefs.
Helicopters glide down 'relatively' slowly, air liners much faster - and the helicopter passengers are trained and dressed for the possibility.
Only what's been shown on the news over the years - and people working on the oil rigs in the North Sea have to undergo helicopter escape training for just such an occurrence. Helicopters glide down 'relatively' slowly, air liners much faster - and the helicopter passengers are trained and dressed for the possibility.
