We have been a pandemic for a year now and in it we have learned that there are only two ways to combat it: either by closing doors or by immunizing ourselves. Confining ourselves is effective, but too hard and has economic consequences that we already know. Luckily, now there is the other option since the vaccines were approved, the problem is that the process is taking too long.
Spain's objective was to vaccinate 80% of the population over 80 years of age before the end of March, and this has not been achieved. In most communities, only between 60 and 70% have received the first dose, and the second less than a third of the total. If it was intended to reach the summer with a large part of the immunized Spaniards, it is better to rethink the objectives.
Now, the truth is that the people who have received the vaccine celebrate with joy being able to rest more calmly, especially if we talk about the elderly, the group with which the pandemic has been most lethal. In the residences, not even that of the new normal arrived, but they were kept sheltered from the outside with few or no visits for a year to avoid outbreaks.
However, the majority of vaccinated residents breathe again, beginning to open the doors of the centers and even going for a walk in the cities as those of the Santa Llúcia residence did a few days ago. And the thing does not stop there, but sooner than expected they could return to share and enjoy the smiles that until now were hidden behind a mask.
According to the statements of Fernando Simón during the control of the situation on Monday, he is considering removing the mandatory nature of masks from the population already vaccinated. And he does not speak of long-term plans, but rather that the measure could be approved to take effect after Easter.
And apparently it would not be the only relaxation of social distancing measures for vaccinated, although it has not specified what others could be alleviated in the coming weeks.
Despite the statement of the director of the Center for Health Alerts and Emergencies, the truth is that the Government for the moment has opted not to lighten the decree to wear a mask, but to toughen it, since it will no longer be allowed to enjoy beaches or swimming pools without a mask as before.
What ignorance and incomprehension on the part of Don Simon, our illustrious Government advisor. The vaccinated continue to infect others and it only "protects" those who receive the vaccine and not the rest…. If the vaccinated go without a mask and the rest is not the most selfish and unsupportive thing in the world since the vaccinated will be calm but it will spread to the rest hahahaha
That they vaccinate the risk groups now and leave the young and healthy people alone that the vaccine and the masks are of no use to them.
What a business there is with vaccines. A lethality of 0.03% apparently justifies vaccinating everyone literally… .. by that rule of three we should be vaccinated absolutely against all the diseases that exist….
Begin to objectively assess each of you the situation and you will see the beach bar that is set up
Thanks José, you are absolutely right. It seems that a vaccinated person can still become infected and transmit ... What is the point of vaccination then? Is it a vaccine at all? So the masks will remain, social distancing and social disorder will remain, the economy will continue to decline, scaremongering will continue. The only hope is that, thanks to vaccination, the government will have an excuse to get out of the quagmire it is in.

what Mr Simon is proposing should not be done at all. People who do not get vaccinated should not be discriminated against in any way according to the guidelines of the European Council. resolution 2361.
