Well howdy there internet people it's Beau again. So today we're going to talk about the new
guidance on wearing a mask and we're going to talk about whether or not I'm going to continue
to wear a mask because a whole bunch of y'all have asked. But before we get into that I want
to go over a couple of things I've said over the last year because it heavily influences my decision.
I was really mad at Trump for not wearing a mask. Not because it really impacts me personally what
happens to his immediate circle but because the American people need a visual reminder
of what's going on. I saw it as a failing of leadership on his part. His civic duty was to
help set that example. That really bothered me about him. I've also said that to change society
you don't have to change the law you have to change the way people think.
The Biden administration made the pledge that they were going to base all guidance on the science
and that's what they're doing. The research indicates that if you are fully vaccinated
in these scenarios your risk is like super low so you don't need to worry about the mask. Cool.
Because of that they're going to reduce mandates. Fine. You don't need a law to tell you to be a
good person. Yeah I'm going to continue to wear mine because I do think that people need a visual
reminder that we aren't out of the woods yet. That we need to get a whole bunch of people
vaccinated still. That this isn't over. I'm also a little concerned that most establishments are
not going to ask whether or not you've been vaccinated. Which means a whole lot of people who
who haven't been vaccinated they will use that lack of concern to not wear a mask
so you will see even less. And I think until we are out of the woods I think it's a good idea
to have that visual reminder out there. Especially in areas where there's a lot of hesitancy
like around me. So yeah I will continue to wear mine. The guidance is that. It's guidance.
And the science says what it says. That science is related to the transmission.
I really do believe that the social science would suggest more people would get vaccinated
if they saw a bunch of masks. Anyway it's just a thought. Y'all have a good day.
