I actually don't understand what the fight they're having in that chain about COVID in 2025. Are people still doing pandemic responses in other countries? I haven't seen a single person wear a mask where I live in Sonora in 3 or 4 years, am I supposed to be the only one wearing a mask and implementing a population level public health measure on my own? I got the vaccine

COVID still exists and still impacts people with the vaccine. Government mandates have been lifted, but masking is the correct decision, at minimum in large public gatherings.

It was never mandated here so I guess people never started

People worldwide largely aren't taking COVID precautions and that's exactly the problem. Some people, mostly leftists, have continued to follow the science that says that even if you're the only person masking up and getting your booster shots every year, you're reducing the chance that you catch a disease that can permanently disable you and everyone you infect.
