WTF Mask rage

[Rose Karuna]

Tucker Carlson can seriously go fuck himself with a thousand cacti, and then catch himself some Covid and go fucking die.

This is a filmmaker who I follow on Twitter (who also happens to be David Bowie ''s son). Never seem him tweet this angry (very understandable why!):

Why waste all that time and allow it to do more damage? Just kill it. Besides, it would probably enjoy the cacti and Covid.

Not rage, but an interesting aspect of masks.


Now I'm used to wearing a mask, and I've found some comfortable and serviceable ones, I quite enjoy wearing a mask around people.

Anti-Maskers Ready to Start Masking—to Protect Themselves From the Vaccinated

An anti-vaccine conspiracy about the vaccinated is leading some anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers to contemplate wearing a mask and social distance.

A conspiracy ripping through the anti-vax world may finally drive some anti-maskers to do the unthinkable: wear a mask and keep their distance.

The conspiracy—which comes in several shapes and sizes—more or less says the vaccinated will “shed” certain proteins onto the unvaccinated who will then suffer adverse effects. The main worry is the “shedding” will cause irregular menstruation, infertility, and miscarriages. The entirely baseless idea is a key cog in a larger conspiracy that COVID-19 was a ploy to depopulate the world, and the vaccine is what will cull the masses.

Hmm... people shed skin cells (flakes, whatever) every day, all day long... I should go shed on my Repug neighbor...

Watch it. Too much shedding can get you more bath times.

Who cares if Biden wears a mask?

A media non-story

pressrun.media

It's slightly jarring that in the wake of the Trump presidency, when Americans were urged to inject bleach as a way to combat Covid-19, that Biden sometimes wearing a cloth facial covering is treated as a pressing news story by the Beltway media. And the recent emphasis isn't just on Biden. More journalists are setting their judgmental sights on those vaccinated liberals who remain cautious and continue to wear masks, dubbing them "pandemic addicts," "irrational" and "odd."

The focus is absurd. I live in what's considered to be a liberal community, and the idea that vaccinated residents here categorically refuse to part ways with their masks is preposterous. It's simply not a thing, yet journalists seem obsessed with the idea that it's a widespread phenomenon among stubborn progressives.

Sure, why not. These are the very same people who could not be bothered to wear a mask when it might kill your neighbor or a random citizen in some store. Of course, they would do this.

Sociopathic Mofo's. The very same nature that allowed them to infect and walk off into the sunset isn't likely to change. It kills me to think about how many of them may have been responsible for the deaths of others and were never called into account. Murderers. That's how I put it because they knew damn well they were threatening the least and weakest of us with death, but didn't care. I still have a lot of anger over this. We lost over 500K people. Some of us would have caught it and died from it naturally, but they made it exponential.

They didn't suddenly become more responsible or loving people. If anything, what media they consume encourages more of it.

We need to come to realization that at least 1/3 - 1/2 of our population just simply does not give a shit about anyone but themselves. Accept it, move on, and banish them (last resort, give them a period of time, but not too generous given past behavior) from public life if necessary.

I'd like to think that most everyone who cares are either already vaccinated or are working on it. I'd also like to think that the vaccine will protect us from getting sick, or at least sick enough to need medical attention.

The Trumpanzees and anti-maskers who are going to go around and claim to be vaccinated just to avoid having to wear masks and get vaccinated will really only be hurting each other and themselves. If they want to go and kill themselves off all in the name of their freedumbs, then more power to them. I have absolutely zero fucks to give for them.

I was wearing masks before it was a mandate and I'll be wearing them after the mandate is lifted. At the very least, fewer colds, less chance of flu, and allergies won't kick my butt quite as hard.

They're not just going to hurt themselves, though.

If they come into contact with Covid-19, become infected and start shedding, they're a hazard to everyone else, vaccinated or not, since vaccinations aren't completely effective at protecting us against known variants (though they do a good job) and we've no way of knowing yet how effective against the new Indian variant that's already causing concern in the UK, or against all the other variants that will assuredly develop over time, until the hospitals start to fill up again and the death count begins, again, to demonstrate how fearful a thing geometric progression can be.

I think they're just scared. The idea that a little virus can suddenly appear from nowhere, bring everything grinding to a halt, and put all our lives at risk is just too scary for some people to cope with, and since they don't want it to be true, they simply deny it's true, because, hey, freedom of belief means freedom to believe what the hell you like, doesn't it, regardless of what government scientists might say is the truth (cf evolution)?

It's like global warming or losing an election (whether to Obama or Biden) -- if it's not something they want to believe is the case, then it didn't happen/isn't happening.

This. We live in a worldwide community with travel between all parts of the world. We don't have this disease under control at a worldwide level. Not yet. There are current and future variants that might well require booster shots of a sort. I'm not saying with 100% certainty that will happen, but it may. That, alone, is enough for me to continue to be careful and that means limiting exposure to the unvaccinated. If I'm wrong, I lose nothing. If I err on the side of acting as if the the danger has passed, well then...I wouldn't want to have to live with that.
