Wear the Mask; Get the Vaccine

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.
And rightist filth, if they're not whining and complaining they're searching for something else to whine and complain about.
 
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.
Didn't you get the memo? We've completely abolished influenza. Just ask Dr. Fauci. The CDC is reporting virtually no cases of influenza for the 2020-2021 influenza season.

Which really should not come as a surprise since everyone is classifying EVERYTHING as COVID-19 related. You say you got the flu this season? No you didn't. You got a variation of COVID-19. If you sneeze, it must be COVID-19 related. Everyone who dies, regardless of how they die, if they test positive for COVID-19, they are classified as a COVID-19 related death. Even those who die in accidents.

The leftist filth are doing everything in their power to keep this irrational hysteria going to ensure they can seize even more power.

Someone in this thread expressed their opinion. It's different than your opinion.

And your response was to start shrieking about your rights. What, your right to stop me from speaking my mind? Rejected.

People went out less, stayed farther apart, and wore masks in public areas. How could influenza numbers possibly go down!???? THIS MUST BE A BIG CONSPIRACY!

Jesus listen to yourself man.

You're lying about people being counted as covid deaths after car accidents. That's right wing propaganda. Doctors aren't as dumb as you think they are.
 
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.

Or getting sick for a month and then dying.

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.
They spread depending on circumstances. They mutate no matter what. Follow the science. That little loose fitting paper mask won't do much for you in amongst lots of other people. Staying far away from other people will, mask or no mask.

Oi. It's so hard to explain this stuff to someone who knows so little but thinks they know it all.

The mutations occur as part of the replication process. No biological process is perfect, so a tiny percentage of replications have errors. These errors cause small changes to the virus. Sometimes those changes are bad, weakening the virus. Nature usually ends up selecting against these. Sometimes these changes are beneficial, improving the survivability of the virus in some way.

But, at the end of the day, the mutations occur during replication. The more replication that occurs, the greater number of mutations that will occur.

A virus with one host will be far less likely to have a dangerous mutation than a virus with a million hosts.

Do you understand this?

You keep saying "follow the science," but your understanding of the science doesn't seem to even go past high school.
 
I was all excited, today is Free Day in Maine, but as I stood in line at the store (masked because I've only had one shot) I heard a nurse from the next town to me say they had 4 new cases today. And except for the employees at my favorite minimart, I guess most of us still aren't fully vaccinated because everyone had on a mask.

At a certain point even greater replication opportunity doesn't matter. Since this has been a worldwide epidemic, with billions of people exposed, the opportunities for the bug to mutate have been more than enough.
 
Stats show that the morons refusing to wear a mask and get the vax are getting sick at high rates. Freedumb rings.

Covid-19 cases remain high among the unvaccinated​

But while national Covid-19 case and death rates are painting a favorable picture of the United States' fight against Covid-19, case rates and death rates among the unvaccinated remain high, according to the Washington Post.
 
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.
But they are a threat to those that are vaccinated. Stop the BS. Get vaccinated and wear a mask until we have herd immunity.
 
No.


No.


No.


You keep your irrational leftist hysteria, I'll keep my rights, and we can both be happy. (y)
Well... if you want to have a worse economy, and watch people in your community die.. including possibly yourself.. carry on.

If you would prefer a better economy, and protect your community. Wear a mask until we achieve herd immunity through vaccination, and get vaccinated.
Stop being Anti american... buck up and be a patriot and get vaccinated.

Thats a complete lie and has been debunked multiple times but hey.. .want not keep the lie.. right?

The economy was harmed by the fascist left. They were the ones who shut down the businesses, remember? As far as people dying, you might to talk about that with Governor's Cuomo, Wolf, Murphy, and Newsom. These are Democrats who deliberately slaughtered tens of thousands of Americans by intentionally embedding COVID-19 patients in nursing homes. These Governors need to be charged with mass murder, but leftist filth continue to heap praise and reward them for their mass murders - as expected.

There isn't a problem with the economy where I live. No businesses were shut down, schools never closed, no mask or social distancing requirements were ever made.

Alaska's Governor comprehends that any mandate would be a violation of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments, and therefore never imposed any. Although, he did ask that people mask up and reduce travel. The overwhelming majority ignored him, because we are not government slaves and we value our liberty in Alaska. Unlike you lower-48 government slaves who couldn't comprehend the meaning of liberty if it bit you in the ass.

It isn't a lie, it is from the CDC itself.


The most influenza cases reported for the 2020-2021 flu season was fewer than 150 in the month of January. Fourteen states reported 223 laboratory confirmed influenza hospitalizations for an overall cumulative hospitalization rate of 0.8 per 100,000 population. Thus far, there has been only one death attributed to the 2020-2021 flu season. That is entirely because everyone is classifying the standard annual influenza virus as a variant of COVID-19 in order to keep to the irrational panic going to keep the artificial fascist "state of emergency" going as long as possible.

They are not a threat. Nothing is 100% safe in this world. The leftist need to accept some risk.

Now.. the economy was not "harmed by the fascist left". It was harmed because of the covid 19 epidemic. Oh I get that that right wingers want to scream.. "but the fascist left.. the closings". Well.. I live in a red state.. I have facilities in other red states..
THEY DIDN'T CLOSE CRAP. Most things never closed and those that did opened up right away anyway. And yet the economy tanked... and why? People getting sick. Whole businesses getting sick and having to close down because of sick workers. Older people being afraid of dying and so not going out and doing things and spending money in the economy. And so forth. Stop believing the lies. It was the virus and what it did to people.. and not your made up "it was the fascist left".. as if every frigging red state is ruled by "fascists leftists"... come now ... stop your absurdity.

Yes.. older people died.. especially those in a nursing home. It wasn;t because of cuomo.. HE DIDN"T GIVE THEM COVID 19.... other people... PEOPLE WHO WERE SICK AND DIDN"T KNOW IT.. got them sick. Thats why wearing a mask is important.. thats why getting vaccinated is important.

There isn't a problem with the economy where I live. No businesses were shut down, schools never closed, no mask or social distancing requirements were ever made.
Sure there was:
At the typical time Alaska starts adding thousands of seasonal fishing and tourism industry jobs, the state instead lost nearly 40,000 jobs compared to March and approximately 44,000 jobs year-over-year.

As of October, Alaska was still down nearly 29,000 jobs year-over-year, according to the Labor Department, with the most severe impacts to the oil and gas and hospitality sectors — some of the largest and most impactful industries in the state. The oil and gas industry directly employed about 6,800 workers in October, which was down more than 30 percent from a year prior. The hospitality sector was down 9,600 jobs, or about 27 percent of its workforce in October.
Whats helped your economy is the massive federal money thats poured in.

Like I said.. if you love America.. get vaccinated and wear a mask... if you don;t give a crap about your country or others.. then its your choice.

Yes they are. Yep.. nothing is 100% safe in this world. So what? Look.. if you want the economy to continue to suffer and have to deal with outbreaks and mask wearing for years.. if you want to deal with friends and family dying when its unnecessary... than you continue your behavior.

IF you actually want to get rid of the virus for good.. stop ever having to wear a mask again.. or have a shutdown.. or have people die... then.. you need to wear a mask until we have herd immunity from vaccination and you need to get vaccinated. Its not leftist or rightist.. is simply scientific fact.
 
Now.. the economy was not "harmed by the fascist left". It was harmed because of the covid 19 epidemic.
Epidemics do not shut down bussinesses and take away people's livelihoods. That requires the oppression of the fascist left.

Yes.. older people died.. especially those in a nursing home. It wasn;t because of cuomo.. HE DIDN"T GIVE THEM COVID 19.... other people... PEOPLE WHO WERE SICK AND DIDN"T KNOW IT.. got them sick. Thats why wearing a mask is important.. thats why getting vaccinated is important.
It was Governors Cuomo, Wolf, Murphy, and Newsom who issued Executive Orders to specifically embed contagious COVID-19 patients into nursing homes, with the specific purpose to kill as many people as possible. All four Governors are mass murderers.

Like I said.. if you love America.. get vaccinated and wear a mask... if you don;t give a crap about your country or others.. then its your choice.
No, there was not. Not in the State of Alaska. However, in the leftist sh*thole cities of Juneau and Anchorage the fascist left DID shut down businesses and destroy the economy, just like the fascist left did in the lower-49 (I do not wish to exclude the fascist leftist State of Hawaii).

You may not be aware, but I do not live in Anchorage or Juneau. The closest town to me is Wasilla, 8 miles away. Not a single business was shut down, no restaurants were closed, no schools were closed, and gun shows at the local high school continued as planned. Which proves that it was leftist filth who destroyed the US economy, not a pandemic.

Biden destroyed tourism in Alaska in 2021 when he killed the Keystone Pipeline project, and the irrational panic in the lower-49 is what destroyed tourism in Alaska in 2020.

This is good news. Just get the shot.

Okay.. you mean your fascist state. Your state had shutdowns.
But.. the economic problems don;t have to do with shutdowns THAT DON:T EXIST. Our shutdowns. and. alaskas shutdowns were small and short lived.. and yet.. economic issues. And why? People getting sick.. not traveling, being afraid to go out because they were older.. people getting sick and businesses having to shut down because of sick employees. In my red state and the red states I do business in.. and its "shutdowns hurt the economy". And I say.. "what shut downs". And they can;t point to anything that significantly impacts the economy. Whats hurting the economy.. is people being afraid to get sick and so not going out.. of hospitals getting overloaded and having to stop elective surgeries. Employers having employees that get sick and have to stay home. ..
It was Governors Cuomo, Wolf, Murphy, and Newsom who issued Executive Orders to specifically embed contagious COVID-19 patients into nursing homes, with the specific purpose to kill as many people as possible. All four Governors are mass murderers.
Well.. thats all completely false. BUT.. please explain all the nursing home deaths then in all the other states? Hmmm.. Or do you contend these governors ran around giving the virus to nursing home patients in all other states?

No, there was not. Not in the State of Alaska. However, in the leftist sh*thole cities of Juneau and Anchorage the fascist left DID shut
I see.. and so since the cities of Juneau and Anchorage which account for close to half of all Alaskan residents.. 2/5 of all residents are in Anchorage. Then the State of Alaska must be a fascist state.

Yeah.. please explain how Biden killed tourism.. which suffered from the pandemic.. before he was president.

As I stated, your fascist fuhrer Biden killed tourism in Alaska with a stroke of his pen when he cancelling the Keystone Pipeline project. Do try to pay closer attention.

Because your much beloved Dixiecrat President cancelled the Keystone Pipeline project Canada has refused to allow any US vessels to dock at any of its ports. That very effectively prevents all cruise ships from visiting Alaska's ports under the Jones Act. This had absolutely nothing to do with the pandemic and everything to do with Biden destroying jobs.

Or are you claiming that Biden wasn't the President when he canceled the Keystone Pipeline?

Yeah you might want to check that...I believe you got it wrong on multiple fronts.
Canada stopped cruise ships from its ports in spring 2020 because of covid.and has extended that ban.
Most cruise ships that visit Alaska are registered in foreign countries..not the us.

You are wrong, as usual. Canada opened its ports in December, and their ports remain open to the rest of the planet to this very day. Only vessels from the US are not allowed to dock in Canadian ports. It is specifically because those cruise ships are not registered in the US why the Jones Act requires them to dock at a foreign port before they dock at a US port. Since all cruise ship vessels from the US are not permitted to dock in Canada, none of them are allowed to dock in Alaska.

You can thank your Dixiecrat President for destroying tourism in Alaska, in addition to thousands of jobs in the lower-48, because it never would have happened had he not canceled the Keystone Pipeline project.
