Just remember that "the pandemic is over" rhetoric started (and thrived) under Biden. Trump just escalated it with the anti-vaccine messaging.

Also - Covid-denialism is happening globally, despite the fact that it continues to spread. Pretty much every political party has embraced this narrative.

Yup. Paid $100 for short term disability paperwork recently, and then had to pay $25 to get it extended. Similar experience where it was filled out with minimal effort. Feels like a kick in the teeth when I'm just trying to recover.

My city currently has an AQI of nearly 200 due to wildfire smoke. If you'd prefer lung damage, that's on you - but I will keep my mask on, thanks 👍

Maybe let's not contribute to the "thugs wearing masks" narrative.

These cops are wearing face coverings (don't appear to be respirators) to conceal their identities during an unlawful arrest, while banning legitimate masks during protests. Call out the hypocrisy, not the act of wearing a mask.

What makes you skeptical of that? Vaccines do not prevent transmission, and getting one variant of Covid does not make it less likely for you to catch another variant. "Immunity" lasts, on average, 3-4 months even for the same variant. How do you get herd immunity under these conditions?

Interesting how your definition of genocide only seems to include white folks. It is literally a genocide by every definition, regardless of your feelings - and the UN, Amnesty International, and HRW have all acknowledged it as such.
