The Washington state governor is holding a press conference right now to announce that nothing is going to change in terms of reopening for the next two weeks.

Thanks for the press conference, governor...

vaccinated people wear masks when in close contact for extended periods because vaccines aren't 100% effective and there's a thing called "breakout variants".

so it's OK for 2 vaccinated people to snap a photo together, but less OK for 10 vaccinated people to sit in a room together for an hour.

Are people really this fucking retarded?

The two 90 year olds are also at infinitely higher risk of dying of covid, than the ten vaccinated people in that room.

That of course is ignoring that in one of the pictures, he's by himself, non fitted masks are essentially useless in a static setting over an extended period, and that you're inadvertently (I hope) making an anti-vax argument about efficacy.

the fact that vaccines aren't 100% effective is not an anti-vax argument.

my point is that you have to mitigate risk, and pictures lack context.

Vaccination is the risk mitigation. If you're going to sit there and tell people "If you get vaccinated you still have to wear a mask and socially distance, etc" you've removed all incentive to get the vaccine. So yes, you're making an anti-vax argument.

Although I agree the pictures lack context, there's no debate that this is security theater.

the incentive for vaccinations is not unmasking.

that's incredibly uninformed.
