Why is this so hard? Seriously.

Wear a mask when inside. Get the vaccine--it's free! Oh, and get the booster when it's available.

Owning the libs is not worth the risk of getting sick for a month, or worse.
 
No reason to wear a mask inside. I’m unvaccinated and do not wear a mask. Please, get on with your life and let us as well. No matter what you may hear. The unvaccinated are not a threat to those who are.

Shouldn't that be the responsibility of each individual to make that decision? If an individual wants to take on the risk, why do you care, especially if you're vaccinated?

And, here we see the problem articulated.

Because bugs mutate. But, I don't expect you to understand that.
 
Ah, so this must be the origin.
...of Right Wing stupidity.

What about people who are immunocompromised? People who can't get the vaccine due to allergies or other medical reasons? Children too young to be vaccinated yet? People who took the vaccine but did not get the proper immune response?


None of those people count as people, eh?
 
That is a small minority, and they are taken into account when developing herd immunity. These things are taught in high school.

Sure, which works when the bulk of your population gets vaccinated.

We're not getting polio levels of vaccination.
 
They should stay home being such a small demographic

People who are terrified of a tiny needle are the ones who should stay home.
 
I'm vacced. I don't wear a mask. Don't see many people wearing masks. I think the local cities have dropped the mask mandate. My wife is pissed because there are people sitting right by us again in restaurants. She liked the "every other table" policy. Not because of germs...well, sorta because of germs. She thinks people generally are kind of icky. Yeah, she's a snob. But what hot chick isn't?

I doubt if healthy people even need to be vacced. I did it because I'm old. Old people should have gotten the vacc first if they wanted it. Now I see they are saying people will need a booster this Fall because of variants. So now it's a Covid shot every year?

I am OSHA trained. I know what masks work and which do what. Those flimsy little paper masks don't do diddly. They don't filter fine enough, and don't fit tight enough. If you wear them for long you're asking for mold and respiratory problems.
 

Yeah, your 30 minute OSHA training video sure makes you an expert on epidemiology.

Yes, it's going to be a covid shot every year because people were stupid, lazy, and selfish. If we'd controlled the virus properly and then gotten everyone we could vaccinated, there wouldn't have been so many incubators for mutations.
 
the pandemic should have been an "oh shit, guys, we need to fix this, because it's really, really bad" situation for everyone. i expect that i'm not the only one who has lost all patience with motivated COVIDiots and anti-vaxers at this point.

You keep your irrational leftist hysteria, I'll keep my rights, and we can both be happy.

Why do so many right wingers think someone disagreeing with them is the same as violating their rights?
 
What a load of baloney. Virus's always mutate, regardless of what you do or don't do. That's why you have to get a flu shot every year. Follow the science. And yeah, that little cheap loose fitting paper mask ain't doin' anything. You walk into a restaurant wearing it thinking your being all safe, and then you take it off to eat. That doesn't make sense. And the virus is much smaller than the mask filter. Once again, follow the science. You're not wearing a 3M particulate carbon filter mask there. All you're doing is virtue signaling.
 

Again with the OSHA expertise on epidemiology. I love it. Dunning-Kruger effect is real.

Follow the science, says the guy ignoring what thousands of scientists are saying.

Viruses mutate more when they have more opportunities to do it. I don't understand why this confuses you.

Because leftist filth are always violating people's rights, on a daily basis. Biden is a perfect example, violating the rights of every American on his first day on the job with his illegal federal mask mandate.
