Anyone else sick and tired of being forced to where a mask?

The problem is how quickly and easily some people agree lock stock and berrel. There's an in-between area of total acceptence and total disagreement. One can exercise a mixture of acceptance and disagreement or disapproval. Most every situation has pros and cons. Things should be weighed out.

So when "the government" says there's "voter fraud", we have to take it seriously, but if "the government" say there's a "pandemic", it's all made up. Seems like you're picking and choosing your rules when it suits you.

"When fauci lied"...? That's more than a bit of a misrepresentation. If you're going to claim someone was lying, you should explain how.

As for your analogy, there's a massive difference between a small slightly inconvenient face covering for a valid public health reason (regardless of your personal opinion of that reason), and a permanent symbol etched into one's face "just because we said so". Like, what, the government is just ordering people to do things to see if they will do it, like some kind of totalitarian Simon-Says? And everyone is too stupid to notice? Except you of course...

C'mon now...

On a side note, if you're going to accuse me of making strawman arguments, you should explain why, and not just say they are. Don't invoke a rule you don't follow yourself.

Yeah, it's crazy how quickly and easily people sometimes agree on things, like the earth being round, or electricity being the movement of electrons (electr icity / electr on - what a wild coincidence!), or other real world things.

Sure, believing in a pandemic - a thing that has happened before, many times, including recent history - is somehow absurd. But believing in a mass conspiracy between "the media" (but only the media that says things you don't like - media that agrees with you is a-ok ) and "the government" (but only when the government says things you don't like - but when the government says things you do like, they're a-ok ) and "lying doctors" (as in doctors that say things you don't like - but doctors that validate you are a-ok ) all working in unison to make people wear masks just to make people jump through hoops so that they can eventually hokey pokey simon-says everyone into brainwashed soldier bots (who knew it was that easy?) in order to subjugate the nation, is perfectly reasonable to believe?

C'mon now...

Health emergencies on national or global levels are fairly common, in the bigger scheme. They seem much more plausible than the "Liberal A-Blue-Minati covertly securing their Blue World Order".

In general, I'm less bothered by having to wear a mask, and more bothered that people genuinely think wearing one deprives you of oxygen and poisons you with carbon dioxide - which, if true, mountains would be littered with the bodies of dead skiiers and snowboarders having asphyxiated while wearing face coverings during heavy activity, hospitals would be filled with suffocating surgeons and nurses, and people would be dying in their sleep if the sheets happened to cover their faces, not to mention motorcycle riders...

Throw in the claim that masks don't stop the virus - but do stop breathing somehow? - and it gets even weirder. If masks don't stop viruses n stuff, why do doctors bother to wear them? Especially if they're only suffocating and poisoning themselves if they do wear them? Oh, right, "liberal mind control". Starting with masks, for some reason...

^You forgot the part where Big Pharma is paying doctors to wear masks and pretend covid is real.

Oh, and Bill Gates/George Soros want to microchip you with the vaccine.

Other than that you pretty much nailed it.

I understand what you are saying. Masks are recognized as a means of helping control the spread of germs. However, most public health units of most countries I know of that are issuing mask orders, are also listing certain exceptions to their mandatory mask policy.

However, most people seem to be unaware that there are any legitimate exceptions. For this reason, a lot of hate, harassment and prejudice is being directed towards people who really cannot safely wear them. When we ask people to wear masks, I think it is important to be polite and considerate because they may have a legitimate reason not to. I wouldn't want to ask anyone to do something that is destructive to their own health, even for the benefit of protecting others from the perceived danger of their germs.

Social distancing and handwashing are very important too. It would be good if everyone could just do as much as they reasonably can, and keep extra distance and reduce unnecessary contact with others during the height of the pandemic especially if they have difficulty with the masks.

Most of all, I just wish people would be kinder to one another. Wearing a mask is just one of many ways to show respect and concern for others. We have to give people the benefit of the doubt if we see them without a mask.

I do wear a face covering in public BTW. But I do not judge other people who say that they cannot for health or disability reasons.

Oh yeah, now I remember. He was telling people to not buy masks and that they don't protect you from the virus. I remember there were shortages on masks and now we don't have that problem anymore. That is because companies started making them now as fashion and public places started to provide them to people who don't have a mask. People also started to make them to sell them online. I bought a pair for my kids on ebay. I also found some Unicorn ones for my daughter at Ross.

But this was at the very beginning when the pandemic started and we know more now.

We are not to question this or express having any problem with it.

Those who do should be mocked, ridiculed, ostracized...

The point I was trying to make is that I don't know for sure why he did a 180 on that. I know the explanation he gave, but I don't know for sure how truthful it is. Wearing facemasks doesn't bother me. What bothers me is the notion that we're supposed to have 100% trust in what we're being told.

Those people can wear face shields or stay home.

Because what he said makes sense and why. Also, these are public health doctors/epidemiologists, not ignorant people. Who are you and what are your credentials to question them?

And yes, anyone who refuses to show such minimal & simple sign of respect (by wearing a mask) for doctors/frontline healthcare workers, public health officials, law enforcement, and last but not least; their fellow citizens, Should be mocked, ridiculed, and ostracized. Now you’re learning!

The hatred attitude is troubling.

Who tf else are you going to trust to give you information during a global pandemic besides your country’s top doctor/epidemiologist?

That pretty much verifies what I was saying earlier.

I think he was being facetious....

COVID is not some paranoiac vision conjured up by the “Deep State.”

So you'll do absolutely anything he says regarding the virus without an iota of doubt?

No but apparently for some the idea of questioning or having any kind of a problem with anything we're being told, amounts to someone being paranoid, idiotic, insane, perhaps even criminal...
