ReedPop, one of the biggest fan convention organizers in the US, announced yesterday that it is removing all Covid safety measures from this year’s Emerald City Comic-Con in Seattle. In a statement posted to Twitter, VP of events Kristina Rogers wrote that “this decision isn’t one we take lightly or without quite a lot of discussions about what is best and safest for all of us.” While ReedPop won’t be requiring masks or proof of vaccine at ECCC, Rogers writes “we strongly recommend the use of high-quality masks while at the show,” which, of course, means nothing.
