Right now in BC, Canada, we have mixed messaging from the provincial health authority.
They relaxed mask mandates, but "recommend" wearing masks indoors, unless a person has been "double dosed" - no proof required.
However, the Provincial Health Officer, who presumably is doubled dose vaccinated claims to wear masks indoors.
Over the past year, it became clear that "mandatory, with fines" worked and the vast majority of people observed this, but "be kind, and please wear a mask" was interpreted as do whatever you want, as evidenced by the hordes of unmasked and skyrocketing numbers.
Now, there is talk of reinstating masks in the fall, even with large portion of population vaccinated.
There is a growing sentiment, by public health officials and mainstream media, and vaccinated mobs, that COVID cases now are mostly because of unvaccinated people.
The "be kind" thing that was a trademark of BC's approach to COVID, seems to be quickly evaporating, and when the numbers start going through the roof again in November, there will be full-on hate by vaxxed against ALL unvaxxed (even those who have always observed non-biologically intrusive measures to prevent transmission - safe distance, self-isolation, masks, limited indoor public exposures).
There was a press briefing yesterday, which was more a rally for one final push to "jab" the remaining population, before fall.
When asked if third doses will be available to people (with mixed doses) who wish to comply with international travel "COVID Passports", without hesitation the Health Officer explained that it was not a good idea because three doses is likely to result in serious "adverse reaction" - apparently three is not the charm with the vaccines.
The messaging from all sides is mixed, confusing, and inconsistent.
I am not looking forward to late fall 2021.
