Well...to reasonably simplify this rant...it's just you people not understanding the true nature and reality of our "rights and freedoms" in this country, and not being able to mind your own business when it comes to clumps of cells.

Well duhhh. It was bound to happen sooner or later. Some ending mask mandates for political reasons and some because they followed the science and their numbers are dropping. Despite the nonsense from some anti-maskers wearing a mask was never intended to be a permanent thing.

Likewise. The mask refuseniks and the ones who simply refuse to wear a mask properly will still be shedding and spreading the virus for a while yet.

'Anecdote' is the science culture pejorative for 'story.' Scientists are trained not to be convinced by stories, they want the statistically-significant data. But most people aren't convinced by data, they want stories.
Two more weeks of stories like this and all these anti-maskers will quietly put on masks. Just like that.

You underestimated their stupidity and blind loyalty to bullshittery

I was prompted to read back too when that Insane list was revived, and I sure noted that message. We've all learned a lot about what people believe, and why, since then. Most folks aren't very evidence driven at all

Since the thread title is just a mask I'll contribute a piece about a Karen (trouble maker) who thought she was entitled to have her way well, just because. I know it's not "just a mask" but these people seem to believe their freedums trump (no pun intended) everyone else's.
Ladies & Gents I give you "Karen at the Bagels Shop". Maybe she should have just, oh I don't know, complied?

Wonder if she'll think yelling at the judge will work?

Neil Cavuto Returns To Faux "News", Says Bout With Covid Pneumonia Put Him In ICU
https://deadline.com/2022/02/neil-ca...ia-1234957583/

Neil Cavuto returned to the anchor chair on his Fox Business Network show “Cavuto Coast to Coast” on Monday for the first time since January 10, saying he had been battling Covid pneumonia which put him in intensive care. It was previously unknown why he had been away.
|
Of course not, this is Faux, after all.
Quote:
“I did get Covid again…but a far, far more serious strand…what doctors call Covid pneumonia,” Covuto told his viewers today about his second bout with coronavirus. “It landed me in intensive care for quite a while and it really was touch-and-go.”
He continued, “No, the vaccine didn’t cause that. That grassy knoll theory has come up a lot. My very compromised immune system did. Because I’ve had cancer and right now I have Multiple Sclerosis, I’m among the vulnerable three percenters or so of the population that cannot sustain the full benefits of a vaccine. In other words, it simply doesn’t last.
“But let me be clear, doctors say had I not been vaccinated at all, I wouldn’t be here. It provided some defense, but that is still better than no defense. Maybe not great comfort for some of you. And frankly, not great comfort for me either!
|
Well! Once in a great while, Faux viewers are told the truth. I'm shocked!
