  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.

        fuck you and your eugenicist bullshit. “masks didn’t work” because most people wore surgicals instead of fit-tested N95s.

        also people assuming they’re diligent maskers while dining indoors where covid somehow hits the pause button and waits for you to finish eating until you put your mask back on.

        Please don’t call mask wearers weirdos. Ever since I’ve had Covid, ANY virus does a number on me. My wife will have the sniffles for 3 days and I’ll end up with a high fever and bronchitis for weeks. And I hadn’t even had a cold for at least decade before I caught Covid.

        This guy’s a nutter, but I still get it. I’m beyond tired of this shit too.

    On a final note, whilst we may speak of a time beyond the pandemic, we are still very much in the midst of one. We are not out of it yet. At the present time, the world continues to grapple with the Omicron variant

    good job linking a source that disproves your own claim lol

    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.
