CONWAY — While the National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last week released new guidelines, saying fully vaccinated people no longer need to wear masks in public places, the state of New Hampshire continues to recommend mask-wearing, and many local businesses and organizations still require them.
Meanwhile, a number of national chains, including Walmart and CVS, which have stores in Conway, dropped their mask requirement for those who are vaccinated.
If we are following "the science" and it is the CDC that has been the purveyor of "the science" that has brought us to this point, then what's the issue?
Stop wearing masks if you've been vaccinated! If you haven't been vaccinated, it's up tp you...
Otherwise, mask-wearing has just become another totem of some kind of weird cult.
If you think wearing a mask to enter a restaurant, and not wearing it the entire time you are there, is "science", you have no idea what science is.
If you are wearing a mask outside, you clearly don't know science.
