Vaccine vs. Mask

[D-train]

So there was a story on the local news about schools being open two days after the epic blizzard. They interviewed 3 parents

1. One parent was furious because it was very dangerous for the kids to get to school and thought they should be closed for one day
2. One parent said because they missed so much time due to Covid they should be in school even if it was dangerous to get there
3. One idiot parent wearing a mask outside said, oh I think it's fine, no big deal. Not joking.

What's so horrible about someone who voluntarily wears a mask? I understand why SOME people are upset to see an UNmasked person in a crowded indoors space. But why be upset seeing someone who chooses to wear a mask?

Does it sound like anyone's upset about it?

I'd laugh if someone wore their bicycle helmet when they're not biking too.

Why weren't people upset about unmasked people 3 years ago during flu season??? Its the exact same thing right now.

And I am not upset with them, I pity them....

I AM upset with people like Gavin Newsome and people that because they want to idiotically wear a mask they think EVERYONE else should HAVE to as well. Like the Beta Bitch that told me in a high pitched agitated voice to pull my mask up over my nose on my flight to Seattle and five minutes later was stuffing his fat face with pretzels and swilling a diet Coke maskless.

I have yet to hear of anyone being harassed because they were wearing a mask. Ridiculed privately, perhaps. Like those wearing a mask in their car. But then I did that yesterday going half a block from one store to another, so now I can see why it happens.

Rules for thee but not for me. Besides, I can't possibly catch covid because I'm more important than you are. Like seeing all those that go to gala events unmasked and then watching as the help has to mask up.

It's my hope that people remember how the leftist/socialists play this game when it comes time to vote. For that reason alone, I'd like to see Trump get back into the Oval Office. Now that he knows how the Swamp works, I would expect the fur to really fly this time. And if he gets the Senate and the House to back him, we may just see, once again, government by the people. Maybe even term limits for elected officials AND bureaucrats.

Sorry, but when I read things like "beta bitch" and "low IQ" I usually think the person is upset. Maybe it's just an East Coast thing.

That whole thing about "need to wear a mask except when eating or drinking" is ... well, it makes me shake my head every time. I've never read the logic of that, but I suppose the regulations recognize that there is benefit to having restaurants and bars open and to have people flying. And then masking as much as possible reduces the risk of exposure (because duration of exposure is a risk factor).

It's a good question about flu season. I've never had a flu shot and I never wore a mask for contagious diseases, pre-COVID. Sure, I tried to avoid being around people if I had any flu symptoms. But I also never remember anyone making fun of people who wore masks during flu seasons.

As to masking regulations, my guess is that COVID was seen as different from flu in being [1] a "novel" virus, so that none of us had any immunity, [2] being more contagious and more deadly, and [3] affecting many more people.

Funny, when I hear someone talking about a "beta bitch" or "low IQ" its a pretty clear signal they're talking about a liberal. Could easily fit in every day conversation.

Look at Trudeau running from the truckers. I'm not mad that he's a beta bitch or have any feeling about it. He just is one.
