All bringing back mask mandates does is punish the vaccinated and give a pass to the unvaccinated. Great message.

I think you're severely underestimating what level of done many people are. More people than you would probably realize are 100% done. Do not pass go. Do not stop for $200. Unwilling to bend at all under any circumstance in regards to masks any if they are fully vaccinated. Indoors, outdoors, they just don't care. They definitely wouldn't be wearing them on trains or planes if they weren't being forced either. Many are counting down until they don't have to do that.

Then those people should be convincing their unvaccinated family/friend/acquaintances to get vaccinated.

Which is pointless for those who are vaccinated

Not really if you've looked at the data around the Delta Varient.
How about those that are under 12 or are medically unable to take the vaccine?

of course the $3 masks will still cost you $10 in shipping, lol.Might be time soon to re-visit and update this one: (somebody at Disney is going to be in trouble)
Disney slashes prices of face masks at shopDisney as Disney World's mask requirements near an end
If you are looking for Disney face masks new pricing makes them much more attractive.www.wdwmagic.com

That also coincided with a huge increase in reservation openings. The AP calendar is completely open until October 1. Does that mean less people are interested in attending than they were in January?

Nope, it is not my job to convince my crazy in-laws to go get the vaccine. It's not worth doing it for my friends or acquaintances either, nor is it my place. It's some busy body do it all started trying to evangelize to me all about the vaccine, I would cut them off in a heartbeat. I don't allow the religious groups to yap at me on my door about their God, and I'm not going to allow somebody else to do it about a vaccine (although I am vaccinated because I believe in medical science). It's not worth the headache, it's not worth me sticking my neck out into the middle of that, and it's not worth my head getting bit off for it. I am not there to treat other adults like overgrown children that can't manage their own lives, even if they act like it. They're going to do what they're going to do and nothing I'm going to say is going to change that.
For those that have young children, and I do have one myself, then they will Do what they think is best. I'm finding people fall tend to fall into one and two camps with the younger children. They either believe that because they're under the age of 12, there's no real issue. They state there hasn't been a lot of evidence of severe side effects of the illness in that age group. Or there are the other side that take it very seriously, and take precautions, and in which case they probably won't be taking their 8-year-old to the middle of Disney World anyway.

Been trying to convince a family member to take it for 4 months now. He refuses. At the end of the day, itโs not my problem. More than 99% of the deaths and hospitalizations at this point are amongst unvaccinated individuals. We shouldnโt be punished for doing the right thing because others arenโt. If they wonโt take it, let them risk the consequences. And if you are under 12 or for some reason unable to take the vaccine, then sorry but you should stay home then. The tail shouldnโt wag the dog.

Orange County Mayor appeals to businesses to require masks to be worn when indoors and in crowded spaces regardless of vaccination status
Orange County Mayor appeals to businesses to require masks to be worn when indoors and in crowded spaces regardless of vaccination status
Orange County is seeing COVID conditions similar to January 2021 as alarm bells ring among leaders.
Want to know why the federal government is frustrated that they're not getting the vaccinated numbers they would like? This is why. If you have to wear a mask even if you've been vaccinated why bother getting it? (Full disclosure: I'm vaccinated.)

They are requiring masks on the skyliner and will give them to you if you've forgotten one. At least this was true as of 2 weeks ago.

I said that widespread masking was not coming back in the United States. I don't consider LA County to be a counter example to that. It is one specific county with its own unique demographic. I do not think what happens there can be reasonably extrapolated to the majority of the country.
"Layers of protection" - it isn't rocket science for people to understand.

In this country it might as well be. But maybe you have a better opinion of the overall intelligence of our country than I do these days.
Or I should amend my statement saying at least regionally down south.

Layers of protection are not needed if you are vaccinated. The vaccine itself is sufficient. All of the numbers we are seeing today bear that out.

Less people want masks than those who don't. It's really not a secret.

That's fine. But it's the unvaccinated who need the mask, not the vaccinated. If there is no incentive to get a vaccine, many just won't get one. After all, that's why things are supposedly opening up at WDW because people are getting vaccinated and masks are no longer required. UNLESS the Orange County mayor requires it just as LA county in CA has. He's already one step away -- he "implores" you to wear a mask indoors regardless of vaccination status. I wouldn't be surprised to see a re-enacted mandate by next week.

Yes, but using this phrase towards vaccinated people suggests the vaccines don't work well enough on their own; they do. And we need to make sure that message does not waver.
