People don’t do basic hygiene. The amount of people who never wash their hands is sickening

No. Because it’s airborne and vaccines are not effective enough because not enough people are vaccinated.
PS I fucking hate long covid.

endemic according to who? eugenicists?
vaccines don’t prevent long covid or infection. there is still no sterilizing vaccine on the market. going in public unmasked while vaccinated doesn’t absolve you from the disabling or deadly consequences of you infecting vulnerable people

Virologists actually.

you only think masks aren’t needed anymore because your privilege prevents you from experiencing the full consequences of your violence.
the long covid community has been clear that you shouldn’t go outside unmasked for years now. if you decide to continue ignoring us, that’s on you. and no, linking science that doesn’t consult disabled people doesn’t absolve you from your dangerous views

I feel like this is such an overreaction. Violence?! I’ve got some permanent symptoms after COVID and mono, and I won’t judge anyone for wearing a mask. I’d happily comply with masking requirements in places where vulnerable people often visit like hospitals or elderly homes. But violence?
Masks were quite annoying and honestly didn’t seem too effective here. Not because a well applied mask doesn’t help, I fully believe that it does, but the average person just didn’t use them correctly and other measures like vaccination were way more effective. When the hospitals are filling up it absolutely makes sense to enforce these kind of rules, every little bit helps. But it’s not 2021 anymore. The virus at this point is more like a spicy flu than the unknown hospital filler that it was in 2020-2022. Expecting people to mask everywhere is unreasonable imo and calling it violence or dangerous is definitely an overreaction.

My boss is a virologist and she says WEAR A FUCKING MASK.

Very interesting, I’d love to see a peer reviewed paper done by her on this subject! Would be quite the interesting read.
