Yeah I don't get why they aren't pushing mask use as an alternative to vaccinations for the vaccine hesitant/anti vaxx. This time last year the masks were the silver bullet in regards to COVID; to the point where masks didn't just protect others, it offered you protection as well. If someone who isn't vaccinated always wears a mask (properly) shouldn't they receive that same high level of protection that was pushed by the experts and media last summer? Anti-maskers and the vaccine hesitant/anti-vaxx are not as much an overlapping demographic as one assumes. POC had little issue following mask mandates despite lagging behind in obtaining vaccinations. If you can't get them to take the vaccine then at least encourage masking among this group (I'm not talking about the MAGA contingent) much in the same way they encourage it among children now. I don't understand why masking is being pushed for vaccinated adults, unvaccinated children but not for unvaccinated adults.

1.5 years in and we dont have kids-sized KN95 / N95 masks smh

Kids do not need N95, KN95 masks at school amid COVID-19 surge, experts say

agreed. If they had little masks like this for kids to wear in school, would help a lot

This situation is really getting dire and it feels worse than last year already because at least its more preventable this year but its also affecting the kiddos heavy. ICU beds are full as well as med surg, etc...

1. Its two fold problem for a lot facilities in not only DFW but around the nation, the hospitals that I work at, you have the high number of patients who are not vaccinated but have sars/covid 19.

2. You have vaccinated people who have mild symptoms but they have high BP, hypertension, obese, diabetes etc.. so we treat their symptoms in triage and try to send them home but sometimes because of the acute respiratory infection that is covid, it sometimes exacerbates their pre existing conditions and they have to hospitalized.

3. Then you have the variant attacking the children, some of them have Type 1 diabetes, or JRA so they are hospitalized

4. And lastly you have your regular everyday people who just need medical attention and some are being discharged to make room for UNVAX patients who refused the vaccine in the first place which are making deaths rise

I'm just tired and very frustrated because I still have patients who are hospitalized who still are anti vaccine even with their pulse ox rapidly declining. When you put all that together, hospital staff at every level is just stressed. I swear this last week, coming on this site is my only break from reality. Just hope everyone out there stays safe.

The primary goal of masks is to stop someone exposed to Covid from spreading the virus

Also, wearing a mask is not an alternative to getting vaccinated. The alternative to getting vaccinated is to get Exposed to Covid and naturally develop anti bodies

but that’s obviously not safer than being vaccinated
