After a year of donning masks everywhere, the CDC announced on Thursday that people who are full vaccinated no longer need to wear a mask or socially distance indoors or outdoors. Moments after the news broke, the internet was ablaze with a series of reactions. While many were comical, some were downright concerning.
On the more extreme end of the scale, individuals took to social media to showcase themselves burning their former masks. One Washington Examiner article even ranted about the pandemic being officially over, likening the epidemic to a poisoned rat.
