So I'm backspacing over a venom filled rant about how not letting antivaxers do any stupid thing they want is NOT the same thing as discriminating against the LGBT community. It's Monday, I had to actually deal with people, my temper is a little frayed.

I think I see what you're actually saying, that right wingers are oblivious hypocritical little fucks?

Precisely. And they deserve not one less whit of scathing distain for it, than they showed back then.

Their 'don't want AIDS? Don't be gay! Easy!' mentality deserves a double steaming helping of:
"Don't want to wear a mask? Don't want the jab? Just don't breath in public! Easy!"

The concert I have tickets for in December is requiring masks and the band themed masks are sold out on their website. Arrggg!

(Does this count as "mask rage"?)

Can they consider the student's religion a mental disorder? That can get them out of the requirement.

 

[Romana]

If they were to consider the student's religion grounds for mask exemption, it would open up a real can of worms. There's a lot of legal argument about what constitutes a sincerely held religious belief.
I There reading about it a while back, and I found one such article to post here : Defining “Sincerely Held Religious Beliefs” That Might Excuse Mandatory COVID-19 Vaccination?
Here the study they cite: Immunizations and Religion | Vanderbilt Faculty & Staff Health and Wellness.
Unless the students belong to the End Times church, I doubt if their religion gives them the right to endanger the health of others (since, if you want the End Time, having a plague and people dying would seem like it was meant to be).
I'm guessing their religion is the Church of Conspiracy Theory, though. And if that was held to be valid, they'd be able to hold people hostage to their beliefs all over the country.

In an age with remote learning, there's no excuse for vaccine exemptions (any vaccine, not just COVID). It is safer for the child themselves and all the other children if they stay home.

You're right ,but people that kick up a fuss like this, don't see it that way. In their view everyone else should stay home.

The reaction was rather extreme, but I'm glad the school stood its ground on the mask issue.

I mean, they were presumably sitting at their desks refusing to comply. Placing the entire school on lockdown just seems extreme.

they did it anyway even tho the ruling was made and the paperwork wasn't complete?

The move comes despite a court ruling last week that found Gov. DeSantis' order was "without legal authority."

The final ruling, however, has not been formally entered, per the Miami Herald. Corcoran made no mention of the ruling in his statement Monday."

Why it's still a good idea to wear a mask and social distance even if you're vaccinated.

They're called mild cases. But people with breakthrough covid can still feel pretty sick.

Andrew Kinsey knew that even after being vaccinated against the coronavirus, there was a...

"It was definitely scary feeling as sick as I did, but throughout it, I kept thinking if I hadn't been vaccinated, this would be so much worse, and I can't imagine what it's like for people who are unvaccinated," said Longman, who works in communications for a pharmaceutical company.

Longman said he wishes he had worn a mask to the grocery store because he suspects that is where he was exposed.

Public health experts warn that the novel coronavirus fueling this pandemic probably will never be eradicated and instead is destined to become another endemic respiratory virus that can be kept in check with vaccines - similar to influenza. But even people who get their flu shot occasionally are bedridden with the flu.

New policy for school district after Venice chiropractor signs 500+ mask exemptions Sarasota students

A Venice chiropractor signed more than 500 mask exemption forms, causing the school district to tighten up what kind of medical professional can sign.

www.heraldtribune.com

A chiropractor in Venice provided more than 500 medical exemption forms for children attending Sarasota County Schools who did not want to wear a mask.

Dan Busch, a chiropractor at Twin Palms Chiropractic, has signed roughly one-third of all medical exemption forms turned in district-wide, district spokesman Craig Maniglia said Wednesday morning.

As a result, the district has tightened up its policy of what categories of medical professionals can sign an exemption.

Good idea...

What really stuns me is the sheer number of parents who don't want to do all they can to protect their children!

What stuns me is the level of crazy that people are willing to go in order to demonstrate their political view point. Which, when you strip off all the bullshit, that's what it truly boils down to.

A school friend posted excerpts from a local anti -mask Facebook group.
These people think they are protecting their children, according to their anti-vax, anti-science lights. It's insane who they believe instead of doctors.

My guest reaction reading that article was "isn't that assault?" But it's Arizona, so who knows?
Well, this guy does..
It doesn't say if they were charged, so they probably weren't. If they try it again, the principal should bring a criminal complaint and sue for harassment. And get a restraining order.
