It is rational to fear what covid does to the body.
And this ableist machismo, separating "fear" and rational thinking, isn't helpful here. They aren't dichotomous.
It is rational to mask in order to avoid covid, long covid, spreading covid, and causing others to have long covid.

(and i think it is a demand that stems from fear more than a rational assessment of the threat environment)

Emil Bove's confirmation was only possible because Democrats caved to a vile right-wing smear campaign of Adeel Mangi, who would have been the first Muslim appeals court judge, when Biden nominated him for the same seat last year. Absolutely disgraceful. Bove's confirmation is on them, too.

People don’t fake disability, they fake being well.
They aren’t stealing your tax dollars, they’re forced into legislated poverty.
They’re not the reason you can’t get ahead. Denying them healthcare or social supports won’t better your life.
Also, almost everyone ends up disabled eventually.
