Oh I definitely agree with your first sentence. I have a hard time


accepting that myself. It's always frustrating to feel like you're doing the "right" thing and then end up being punished because of others not doing it. My father (who wore a mask through the whole thing and got his vaccine as soon as he could) said the other day he wasn't going to go back to wearing one. So I totally get that. I think any governing body (school board, local, state, federal) or corporation is in a tough position now. What are the options?

1. Go back to mask mandates. This will cause pushback from both vaccinated and anti-mask people.
2. Require masks for unvaccinated people. This causes pushback from anti-mask, anti-vax, and privacy/rights groups.
3. Not require any masks for any one. This probably results in the least pushback but is most definitely the most risky in terms of allowing further spread. And if cases (and more importantly hospitalizations and deaths) start spiking you're going to take the heat for it.

Am I missing any potential options here?
