Inslee Lifts Mask Mandate Statewide For Fully Vaccinated Washingtonians
Olympia, WA — Washingtonians who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 will no longer be subject to the face mask mandate in most indoor and outdoor settings, effective immediately.
Gov. Jay Inslee said the state is adopting the latest guidance from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which states that fully vaccinated citizens no longer need to wear masks except in crowded indoor settings like schools, buses, planes, hospitals, and homeless shelters, among others. He also plans to have the state completely open by June 30.
The CDC said people are fully vaccinated two weeks after receiving the second dose of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, or two weeks after the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which requires one dose.
Inslee hopes easing the state’s mask restriction will encourage people to get vaccinated.
“This is a heck of a benefit for people who have been annoyed by this mask,” said Inslee. “This is a ticket to freedom, that shot is a ticket to freedom from masks, and we hope people will avail themselves to it.”
Inslee said businesses can still legally require customers to wear masks if they choose, and they can also inquire about a customer’s vaccination status, which may legal challenges given privacy health laws.
“Our hope is that it will increase people’s interests in fighting COVID,” said Inslee, “because it will give people an additional incentive to getting vaccinated.

Dear Governor Inslee,
“This is a heck of a benefit for people who have been annoyed by this mask,” said Inslee is also a heck of a violation of a social contract that “we’re all in this together.” In fact, the only people in “this” are “people who have been annoyed by this mask” and/or refuse to vaccinate. The rest of us have been perfectly content to vaccinate, limit gatherings and follow the mask mandates because it protects the most vulnerable in our community.
For someone who claims to have “followed the science” that mask mandate was absolutely the worst thing to do,. The science says masks do NOT work to protect either the wearer or anyone else, and if you are wearing a cloth mask you are more likely to get sick and even die from various issues, including bacterial pneumonia! All the highest cases of claimed Cov19 occurred in the areas with the strictest mask rules. Additionally, the actual cases of Cov19 were only about 5% of the cases claimed according to the
CDC’s latest issue of a report. Vaccine that is NOT a vaccine does NOT protect one from contracting the virus and every animal they gave this non vaccine jab to DIED! And so will all the people who took the jab, additionally, all the jabbed people are shedding the side effects of that jab on the people around them, people who’ve chosen not to take a dangerous substance which is likely deadly within 5 years of having gotten it, a substance that will change your DNA and that doesn’t stop one from getting the disease, from which disease the survivability is 99.7%. EVERYONE who tool those jabs did a stupid thing and WILL regret it sooner or later. PS: those non- vaccines were designed to make women infertile and men to help that along if they have sex w/ no condom, because the elites want the world depopulated by 90%, from the current 7 billion+ to a mere 500 million (Georgia Guidestones and Agenda 2030 both make that exceedingly plain)! Quit trusting the government, people, they do NOT have your best interests in mind, do the research find out for yourselves, government agents are behind ALL the censorship on social media because they do NOT want their lying narrative to become widely debunked! Fauci and Gates are behind the plannedemic and the communist infiltrators are behind the ridiculous restrictions that were put in place to destroy these united States of America Every governor wo put on those extreme restrictions is a part of the marxist takeover of this nation of, formerly, a FREE PEOPLE who have now been enslaved by people they trusted but never should have trusted!!
Hey Gail,
Masks protect others. Just this week studies came out proving that the vaccine does not work for immunocompromised, organ transplant recipients, and most cancer patients. Please wear your mask when inside to protect those who the vaccine can’t. I’m the main caretaker for my sibling with cancer, please don’t endanger him and others like him.
