[B]Got onto an elevator with a middle aged, cloth-mask wearing, very fat, woman.

When she saw I wasn't wearing a mask, she sighed very loudly and waddled off the elevator.

She dramatically shook her head after she got off. How dare I not wear a cloth mask like her.

Someone should tell her the research shows cloth masks put her at a greater risk of respiratory infections and her morbid obesity is the greatest risk of COVID-19 mortality.

Not masks.
Not social distancing.
Not lockdowns.
Not border closures.

All of which have been shown to be ineffective (not statistical significance compared to doing nothing), with peer reviewed, results duplicated, published, science.

I wonder how many people have fallen for the pseudo-science of mask wearing to stop the spread of the coronavirus? Enough people have that they, in ignorant self-righteous indignation, think they need to judge and lecture others on mask wearing and social distancing - neither of which are effective means to stopping the spread of SARS-CoV-2.

Read this again, the amount of lying to people concerning Covid-19 in that post is staggering. Not just lying, dangerous lying as there are/were people here who took what he said as gospel.

If it wasn't for the masks, distancing and lockdowns, the US would have been hit even harder than the 350K+ we lost in 2020 alone.

he was a compulsive liar and bad faith troll from the start. y'all keep acting like covid changed him. maybe it just changed your own perceptions, eh?

Trump, not Covid.

trump altered your perceptions, or are you suggesting that ddm was good faith not-troll before trump?

He could definitely troll, but it went to a straight whack dangerous level, see all the Covid-19 downplaying as being a good example. When Trumpism came a knocking on his door, he should have said "no thanks" and shut the door, instead of "come on in, have a seat."

I disagree, obviously. I don't think he changed in his time here at all. not by the tiniest fraction of a cunthair's width

the great american accepted mass infection has begun! good luck to unvaccinated red state muricans, with your rights and your freedums. Most of us are safe from you now 🙂

Got my second pfizer dose today. Yay me.

fox news is continuing to recklessly endanger the public by having a pretty radiologist (lol), telling everyone that the unvaccinated can go maskless indoors, contradicting clear instructions once again.

shouldn't that be illegal? at this point i don't care, and tbh i hope they all have a big orgy this weekend and infect/kill eachother.

This is going to be their new great grievance when businesses like airlines and sporting arenas do not allow them entry without being vaccinated. They love their grievances and perpetual victimhood.

My wife won't vaccinate. Her personal healthcare provider told her she fears the vaccine damages female reproductive health. I don't have a problem with it. Is what it is. I'm fully vaccinated, and encourage anyone who can to be vaccinated, but I don't think anyone should be restricted if they don't. Who is she going to infect? Only someone else who refused the vaccine, right?

Yessss...

That also works the other way, though.

My sister refuses to vaccinate, no matter how many times I tell her there's nothing to it. All I can do is hope she never runs into the other unvaccinated person in town, and catches it from them.

The problem with not getting vaccinated isn't so much worrying about who they're going to infect, it's worrying about what potential variants could emerge from a person who refuses to get vaccinated. Every varient poses the possibility of evading the immune response of vaccination and thus restarting the whole pandemic over again.

No one would really care about the health of a person who makes the decision of not getting vaccinated if it was just their consequences to bear, but unfortunately each unvaccinated person carries the possibility of creating a new variant.

I've known DDM for a long time. He's always been an asshat

I wasn't being snarky here btw. we could possibly be having the biggest mass-spreading that america has ever seen.

there are 4 (3) types of adults here:
1- those who are vaccinated and have now gone "back to normal", shopping maskless
2- those who are vaccinated, yet continue to make some effort to not catch covid, which includes masked shopping (like me, probably the minority)
3- antivaxxers who will not continue spreading the virus without a care, because only they matter. (most republicans)
4- antivaxxers who continue to mask up as instructed, out of honesty and consideration for public safety (no such americans exist)

There will be a lot of maskless intermingling between #1 and #3, and while nearly all of group #1 will be unharmed and non-contagious if they catch covid, they will still catch it.
