Just an FYI... Removing a mask mandate is not the same thing as mandating no masks...

Still don’t get it, do you. Masks are intended to protect others as well as yourself. You seriously don’t understand that after two years? No wonder it’s hopeless.

Always interesting how many of those who have been wrong, often continuously wrong, on nearly everything they said or predicted regarding Covid still offer authoritative appearing opinions regarding Covid.
 
American right wing minds are so fucked up...

...that most of the bullshit they write and say actually makes sense to them.

Ya cannot fix stupid and gullible with duct tape.

Too bad that.

I agree. It is hopeless to try to teach you about the engineering specs of masks, the size of mask pores, the size of viruses, how long viruses can survive intact in bone dry air, among numerous other things.

I can lead you to water, but I can't make you drink it. Sucks to be you.

Good for you! And isn't it amazing how FREEDOM works?? You can do you, while I can do me. There isn't any authoritarian government commanding me to wear a mask or commanding you to not wear a mask. Rather, we each make our own choices as we see fit. Wow, I truly do LOVE freedom.... Let me say that one more time for the liberals of this forum... FREEDOM.

Now, who is fighting to conserve freedom and who is fighting to do away with it? That's right... conservatives wish to conserve freedom while liberals wish to be authoritarian.

At any age, masks do not work. Their pores are far too large and viruses are far too small. People who religiously wear masks are still getting COVID and other diseases (yes, other diseases exist) all the same as people who don't wear masks.

If the government says you no longer have to wear a mask, it is not the same thing as the government saying you cannot wear a mask.

Please, wear your mask if you want to.

Yes. Further, any company can demand people use masks, unless they live in some insane Red state with specific laws prohibiting it.

The CDC will soon get back the power to assign guidance, as the judge who did away with the mandate is not even qualified to sit on the bench. Her ruling will be laughed out of court.

I never stopped masking in public either. I'm vaxed/boosted too, but the employees in the stores deserve some respect.


That, and the mask shows everyone that I didn't vote for trump.

Win/Win.

I agree. So why do you keep doing it?

The CDC never had any such power to begin with.

That, and the bare face shows everyone that I didn't vote for biden.

Win/Win.

There is is again, “freedom,” always cracks one up, only the right can take an abstract concept and reduce it to a bumper sticker cliche, always loved the “patriot” who said closing the Golden Corral buffet violated his “freedom”

And as far as masks, as I said above, it is comical how many of those who have been wrong, often continuously wrong, on nearly everything they said or predicted regarding Covid still offer authoritative appearing opinions regarding Covid.

I would note that the "Maskers" have changed their tune from "Follow the science!" to one of "The majority want the mask mandate." That is, they're now making an irrelevant appeal to popularity versus the irrelevant appeal to authority they were using. Their argument, however remains irrelevant.

If someone wants to wear a mask, go for it. Don't shove that useless shit down my throat because you want to feel better about things however. Your particular brand of insanity doesn't mean I have to agree with it.

Well, at least the person who needed to hear it was reached, it just missed.

Anyway, just so you can understand why folks say these things that vex you so...

According to science from like science people doing science and being smart and science stuff:

How Wearing a Mask Can Help Protect You Even If No One Else Wears One

https://time.com/6168672/how-wearing-mask-protects-you/

So... Just because I don't wear a mask it doesn't make it so you also don't have to, please... wear your mask if it makes you feel better. As we enter the endemic stage of this disease and mandates are no longer necessary, you can feel safer if you just mask yourself up.

Science.

So my point is completely valid. Thanks for the acknowledgment. Truth to tell, I don't give a fuck at this point. People want to die, let them.
