    It is mind boggling.

    And some on here questioning the iq of others follow this nonsensical logic.

    But hey they have a bunch of boosters. Shoot. Probably three maybe four of each (Pfizer/Moderna/JJ) to be safe….

    If you don't like the laws in America, you are welcome to leave.



    Am I doing this right?

    Honesty, don't know why anyone would put up with that unless you had to for work. Airlines lost me the first time I had to strip and got my balls fondled by some frisky tsa agent. Masks are just the icing on the cake of crap.

    The World Health Organization on Wednesday said Covid-19 remains a global public health emergency despite the fact that deaths from the virus have fallen to their lowest level since the early days of the pandemic.

    The world recorded more than 22,000 deaths from Covid during the week ended April 10, the lowest level since March 30, 2020, according to WHO data. The organization first declared Covid a global health emergency on Jan. 30, 2020, just over a month after the virus emerged in Wuhan, China.

    1993 was the last confirmed US case. Why does that matter? Better yet, try educating your self on how that happened.

    Better question that you can't or won't answer, how many shots are in the polio vaccine?

    People have to take the bus, people choose to go to bars.

    so? if indoor space is considered dangerous, why not make all indoors mask-ups, because riots would happen thats why, buses and planes and trains are no more unsafe than bars and restaraunts, just overkill by a horrible administration

    We have multiple vaccines that work and we space out the regiment. When is the last time you got a polio shot?

    Your answer will show it actually works.

    Also keep in mind that over 92% of Americans are immunized against polio. Speaking only for myself the last time I got a polio shot was in 1999 prior to my trip to Thailand where the disease apparently hasn't been eradicated to the extent that it has in the US. .

    Essentially the same with smallpox except the entire world got behind that vax. Last case was over 40 yrs ago. Had the political narrative antivaxers not screwed us, we'd have saved many thousands of lives. But.... freedum.

    Let’s hope that we do not see that 92% decrease after coercing people and pushing new drugs on people that they did not need or want.

    Let's hope that the million Americans that died from covid would serve as a lesson for uneducated, politically motivated, blatantly selfish individuals to see that just like all the other extremely successful vaccines, it requires the public to make public health work. Continuing to spread unfounded, unproven lies about vaccines undermines that goal.

    Unfortunately we will likely see a decrease in the 92% because of the disastrous public health policies during Covid. Hopefully I am wrong.

    Keep believing the propaganda. The Great Barrington Declaration is proven more correct each day.

    You mean the document that claims that we will obtain herd immunity while you claim that we won't?

    But public transportation is unavoidable for many regardless of risk. Bars and restaurants you assume the risk when choosing to go in. Sometimes, grownups do what’s called a compromise. Each side gives a little. Those in favor of masking would prefer masks everywhere, those against it don’t want it anywhere. What’s happening here, is we’re meeting in the middle. Those who want masks can choose to avoid places they don’t feel comfortable, where masks are optional. Those against it have to be inconvenienced for a few minutes. Sometimes sacrificing also dilutes the logic a bit, but everyone can’t get everything they want. It’s really not that complicated.

    I will give you a real example. This weekend I plan to see my parents, both approaching 90 years old, and both are becoming more frail. I will be flying there. I rarely wear a mask anymore, but I certainly will at the airport and on the plane. To the extent other people are also masked, it lowers the probability that I catch something and give it to my parents.

    I even went ahead and got a 4th vaccine dose. I was going to put it off a while but anything to lower the probability of transmitting to me is worth it.

    You do realize the getting a 4th jab does nothing in stopping or preventing the flu like virus and the mask is just as useless
    I guess on the positive side it gives you a false sense of security

    Here's yet another cdc graph that shows that with covid, masks are useless but the govt officials will continue to double down on the 'science'.
