I have little doubt really good masks work in a setting of grownups using them correctly. Hospitals prove that.
Here it’s just a farcical collection of people with them below their nose laughing like they did as children making fart noises under their arm before they stuck their tongue on a frozen pole. Trying to extrapolate what works elsewhere when we have such a high idiocy rate here is kind of pointless.
I think the willfully ignorant getting sick soon plus the already vaccinated are the best bet against any future variants.

We are on the same side here. Joe Biden, the CDC, governments everywhere have to care about the stupid also. They’re in charge of the entire populace and are mandated to give a fuck about everyone.
We are under no such mandate to give a single fuck.
I’m soon to be an anti-masker and will refuse to wear one in about another month once everyone who wants one is through the process. I won’t scream at an usher at a ballgame about the constitution like a moron if their company makes them enforce it, but let this shit rage otherwise.
I’d wear one if I was visiting Canada since it isn’t the normal functioning adults fault their government has been slow and I wouldn’t want to carry it to them, but here, fuck all that except where it’s common courtesy if someone has an illness or auto-immune disorder or something. If some variant emerges that actually concerns me, I’ll simply put one on then.
In general, any deaths that occur at the intersection of black people who think the US is running a Tuskegee experiment when they’re sitting in a room next to a bunch of white people with a random number in 2021 and dumb white trash Trumpsters who think socialist globalists and Big Pharma or whatever the right wing echo chamber has fed them today are trying to microchip them are equally moronic and welcomed deaths. That’s an intersection where we should make all the lights turn green and sit back.
Thats a bipartisan collection of the stupid. That’s natural selection in action.
It won’t kill anyone it didn’t before, but almost every death you can say a dumb person we are better off without died today and be right 99.999999% of the time.
It’s beautiful as it doesn’t hurt kids for the most part. I’ll feel horrible for the random child with a dumb anti-vaxxer parent or just the random breakthrough anomaly, but that kid was already very likely screwed and lost the genetic lottery from the start being born to an anti-vaxxer and perfect safety can never be achieved.
I’d volunteer cleaning Covid wards if I I could go directly to a “Patriots” rally after and help Mother Nature along.
Those two groups of willfully ignorant vote differently, but are the two groups of citizens I associate with idiocy, combative natures, and are generally unreasonable people who fuck it up for everyone.
I’d be for state sponsored Ted Nugent/Kid Rock/Ice Cube concerts to get the stupid together all in one place.
Any notion I want to wear a mask to save the life or prevent prolonged illness for someone who was throwing a hissy fit and screaming at minimum wage workers in grocery stores last year is insanity. After everyone who wants one has had the chance, let the chips fall where they may.
I would be very in favor of what the Republicans wanted last year in about one month. Remove any liability for companies so they don’t have to have a mask policy. Now it makes sense. Throw some language into the bill about new variants that are vaccine-resistant removing said protection, and then let it roll.
I won’t care if I see some anti-vaxxer adult lugging an oxygen cart around with them because they were scared to get a shot.
If I thought we could eliminate the virus entirely I’d be all for it. It’s always been obvious the segment of stupid is likely way too high.
The vaccine has proved effective against the variants so far. All anyone can hope for now is that it continues to prove true even if the variants get deadlier and wipe out more morons or enough get sick quickly that together we reach some magic threshold.
There was a lot of thinning of the herd talk last year. Stupidly is life’s greatest weakness, and that’s the element of the herd that will be thinned now.
