It can be confusing, wait what? Vaccinated folks can largely do things as in pre-pandemic times? And no mask? Evidence is if you're vaccinated, you're protected and even if you were to get infected which is very unlikely, you aren't likely to transmit to others. Unvaccinated? you should still wear masks, we know masks protect you - though low case rates and being surrounded by vaccinated people will protect you too - we haven't yet achieved herd immunity levels, so follow all your local public health guidance. The President said it was your "patriotic duty" to get vaccinated, for your family, community and country. It's available, its free, don't hesitate.

Papanicolaou's next communication on the subject did not appear until 1941 when, with gynecologist Herbert Traut, he published a paper on the diagnostic value of vaginal smears in carcinoma of the uterus. We use this test to today!
