Laws in Arkansas pass against mask mandates and vax passports

Some new laws go into effect next week in Arkansas.

One is a bill to prohibit state and local officials from making a mask mandate.

The other prohibits requiring the vaccine for passports.

I find it interesting that arkansas seems to always be a contrarian. It really changed back when win rockefeller was governor and of course trump changed most of the southern states. I like these bills but I also already had to get 2 vaccines so they don't affect me much.

I can honestly understand people’s vehement position on vaccine mandates, but masks?

a reply to: Naytral

They might more than you know.

The CDC changed their mask guidance today so that even if you have the shot, you are now recommended to wear your mask indoors as if you didn't.

They did this over a 0.098% chance that you might suffer a breakthrough infection. That's not even a 1 in 100 chance!

This mandate is to prevent mask mandates from being enacted. The way I read your reply it sounded like maybe you thought the opposite. Sorry if I'm wrong on that.

1. I have asthma

2. I am claustrophobic

Between those two, I feel like I am being smothered every time I put a mask on, especially if I am breathing hard enough to pull the mask back up against my face. It triggers a near constant state of hyperventilation, and it's not at all pleasant.

I got the shot so that I could leave that behind.

Now, I am being told that for a 0.098% that if I come into contact with a positive person I *might* get sick myself - 0.098%! I could be told that I must go back to that?!

Eff it. Why in the hell did I bother getting the shot? At least COVID is honest. It will deal with me one way, the first way, and not yank my chain.

Yeah I never had a problem wearing a mask. I honestly don't have a problem with people not wearing them.

No.

The way I read your post is that you thought that because you were vaccinated, this law meant little to you, but I was saying it might because the CDC just changed their minds today and now they think even if you're vaccinated, you ought to wear your mask again. This law protects you from that.

It's crazy how so many businesses and people take "CDC Guidance" and convert it into a law or rule.

CDC Guidance is neither a LAW or a RULE.

here is a site that list all 50 states position on vaccine passports, dated July 3rd.
more than a few will not require them.

one of them is Kommiefornia believe it or not,

5. California is not pursuing a mandatory COVID-19 vaccine passport requirement but will work with the private sector to monitor the development of any passports mandated for businesses such as sports teams or event venues, Los Angeles Magazine reported April 26.
Vaccine passports: 50 states with bans, limitations & green lights

it looks as if most states are not going to require passports. now bi den and crew push it remains to be seen.

I thought I had the wrong idea about what you said. Sorry about that. Thank you for clearing it up.

I meant the passport one didn't matter to me because of vax. Mask mandate doesn't matter to me because I wear them in public since this started. I have bad teeth so I like having an excuse to wear them, honestly.

People do crazy things when they are afraid.

Hopefully, ketsuko, these continued revelations about the waning effectiveness of the vaccine will make you consider giving your own immune system a chance as opposed to it's continued degradation with "booster" shots.

a reply to: ketsuko

Well according to some which have argued against me, you should die because nature has not selected you. Their position is that this current pandemic will sort us all out. Unfortunately you might be screwed.

To clarify, I don’t feel this way. I hope you stay safe.

a reply to: hounddoghowlie
Kommieforna, hah, I read that in Schwarzenegger's voice.

I had no idea so many states had that stance. I guess though not contrary to the majority it works contrary to media depiction. Thank you for the link.

You forgot 3 and 4.

1. I have asthma

2. I am claustrophobic

3. I am selfish and only care about myself and my well being

4. My need will always be ahead of those around me, my neighbors, coworkers, family, and friends.

There fixed it for you!

And yes it will deal with you. I could have gone into why if this was an attack from a foreign country how we will spot the traitors, but I am trying to be nice.

BTW I am not vaccinated I and my Dr are uncertain I can be but I am damn sure here to prevent others from getting it!

It sucked!

I do not agree with the passports but I also I do believe being a patriot and protecting your fellow citizens however!

And neither protect anyone from anything.

Yeah I've been regretting how I worded that. I didn't mean like it's a precedent setter. I see it as more of a beleaguered follower.

Wouldn't that decision to get vaccinated to prevent catching COVID-19 be for them ?
After all , a vaccination is to PREVENT one from catching a virus , correct ?

Denying ignorance.
Why ?
It is so easy to do , nowadays.

I have performed my due diligence to the ATS Motto .
