South Korea to Drop Mask Mandate on July 1st for Vaccinated People
You may soon be able to walk outdoors in South Korea without a mask if you are vaccinated. Really why wait until July 1st, why not just drop the mask mandate for vaccinated people now?:
South Korea announced Wednesday that people who have received a first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine will no longer be required to wear masks outdoors starting in July, as part of incentives for those participating in the public vaccine campaign.
The incentive program announced at a daily interagency coronavirus response meeting also included a plan to lift the gathering ban for direct family members who have had their first vaccine dose.

You can read more at the link, but governments are finally realizing that the mask mandates after getting a vaccine is a disincentive to getting the vaccine.
Why wait? Virtue-signalling is just that important…
So… during a real pandemic, don’t people beg to get a vaccine?
Is the lack of enthusiasm because pretty much everybody but an irritating vocal minority knows it is all a scam?
Nonetheless, I have had 6 doses of 3 vaccines plus an HCQ body rub… so I am actually exempt from even wearing pants.
But the mask mandate stopped the second, third, and fourth waves in Korea.
Oh wait, no it didn’t.
Masks reduced the daily infection numbers to all-time lows.
Oh wait, it didn’t do that either.
Masks caused me to look more at the body than the face.
Yeah, probably did that. But that’s about all masks did.
