“…nobody should be using the worst of humanity as a standard to evaluate their own behavior.”

That was an incredibly well-delivered line.

Thank you so much for this! I’ve had so many doctors refuse to mask for me, a 20-something, severely immunocompromised, chronically ill stroke survivor.

Unfortunately those denying it are committed to keep denying it and misunderstanding me. I wish there was a way for this to actually get through to the crowds that need to read it!

Oh wow! I haven’t had an issue. I live in the PNW, maybe that’s why. That’s awful.

I’m so sorry Ari. I have also experienced this as someone who has long covid and have a brain disease that has bled during a Covid infection. It’s so sad when people are so ignorant and refuse to do such a simple thing to protect your health.

Never stopped masking when I leave my home, it’s not a burden or a big deal. Am 78 and worked in healthcare my entire adult life. When I go to the Dr I request they mask while in the room. They do.

Not masking in today’s world where pandemics will be common, it’s sheer stupidity to NOT mask.

Wouldn’t broad-spectrum antiviral meds like Hydroxychloroquine be a be a better solution?

Prevention ensures much better outcomes over treatment. Treatment should only be necessary when the prevention efforts fail (they’re not perfect).

Can’t prevention also include boosting the immune system with Vitamins C and D? Have you seen Dr. Zelenko’s prevention protocol?

Thank you. Back in the day, I would have agreed with you. But that was before viruses were created in a lab, then the vaccine for it magically appeared.

Yes, I remember Warp Speed. There was also the gain-of-function research intended to make the virus more deadly. Not good.

That this even needs to be said.

I wish we could cart the antivaxx and mask whackos to reactivated leper colonies and have done. But now one of them runs HHS.

I was at the local CVS here in South Carolina and they don’t even carry N95 masks any more. So I bought two boxes online and, yeah, I’ll be wearing them in crowded situations. I’m seeing a few more people wearing masks every week, even in this very red state.
