A lady in our ward declared loudly and defiantly in ward council that she would not be wearing a mask (and she never did throughout the entire time our ward was masked). I imagine she’s not vaccinated either. A colleague of my wife’s (a member of the LDS Church) had nothing but criticism for masks and social distancing…until his elderly relative died from Covid…and then he changed his tune. A friend of my wife’s was definitely vaccine-hesitant but then when President Nelson got vaccinated she decided it was okay for her to as well (which was good given that she was in her late 60’s and in poor health). I think the population of the Church at large has always been selective in following counsel from the Church HQ. Even a pandemic probably won’t change that.
