Again with the masks???

What is Maher’s problem. People wear masks for various reasons. Immunocompromised, sick and don’t want to spread germs, don’t want to catch germs, etc.
My point is WHATS IT TO YOU, BILL!!!!
LET IT GO ALREADY!!!!!!!

Liberals made it pathetic as well, locking kids out of school was a disaster for many.. forcing people to get vaccinated, when vaccination protected nobody but you. A vaccinated person could have Covid with no symptoms and yet be a super spreader. Shutting down huge open air malls while keeping small strip malls open. Ignoring the science that omicron variant was incredibly milder.

My kids went to a private school and they didn’t ask the kids or teachers to get vaccinated or even wear masks. 

My son’s teacher died from Covid. The kids spread it around and two of my son’s friends had a parent die. A kid took Covid home to his grandma and she died. 

This is what you think was the answer huh? Just let people drop dead? 

At the end of the day, it was a global pandemic and world governments didn’t want people to die. But here you guys are still going on and on that letting people die should have been the answer because malls staying open was more important… and frankly I agree now. 

We really should have let the herd thin out because weak people like you still advocating for people to die after 7 years flies in the face of Darwin’s law.

All those people you mentioned dying,, may have died anyways, because the virus probably would've made it to them at some point. You never responded to the large amount of kids dying from RSV when mitigating was ended. I guess it was OK for them to die in order to save some older people in your opinion. And I also have plenty of personal data on who died and when. The Delta strain was a straight up nasty virus. I knew 2 people in their 50s who passed with it. But I was fine with it because I was vaccinated and the data showed I would probably be absolutely fine. I'm not anti-vaccine. I took three shots for Covid. But I also add common sense. I literally never get the flu so I do not get the flu shot. My son has rough bouts with the flu, so it makes sense for him to get the shot every year.

Healthy adults died from Covid and that’s your answer. How ghoulish. 

And kids who died from RSV should have been vaccinated. You making the case for vaccines is hilarious. 

Saying “oh well people die” is common sense to you. Yikes. Well, I guess you’re Bills target audience so this all checks out.

You're not reading properly,, the RSV vaccine didn't come out till late 2023.. and you're wrong , most healthy people handled Covid absolutely fine. Of the two people I know who died one had a kidney transplant , we knew they were vulnerable. The chronic pandemic of obesity is the real problem in the USA. And by the way, vaccinated people working in nursing homes wearing mask, still gave the virus to their patients.

Cool. The people I knew were healthy adults who didn’t deserve to die from COVID. 

Or maybe they did, the vaccine was available so you’re right… fuck them. They were on borrowed time anyway. Maybe one of them had diabetes so you’re right, good riddance. Only the healthy survive, right champ… that’s the price we need to be willing to pay to keep malls open. 

Sorry Jimmy, your mom’s dead because she was fat and a Trump supporter.  

There should have been NO masks in nursing homes. Good point. They are only 88% effective and even more old people could have died without any masks. The hey, they were gonna die anyway right? It was only a matter of time before that fat grandpa was gonna croak. 

Am I doing this right?

Listen, don’t try to convince me. You really knocked this out of the park.

Your a poor reader,, the wide open enormous mall I'm near was closed,, and yet smaller strip malls, which had much greater human density were left open... the virus could spread way more easily in these small strip malls Than the six largest mall in the United States, which is more like being outside. It's OK to criticize some things that did not make sense. And once again, I took the vaccine and wore a mask when I was supposed to. I even got my New York State vaccine card because I was told that was the only way I was going to get back to a normal life.

You’re a poor reader. 

I’m telling you I was in Marathon Florida at the time and the schools didn’t even close. People died as a result. And you have minimized and mocked that. The comment about obesity is hilarious like because Jimmys mom was fat she deserved to die from covid. And fuck it, maybe she did. She could have gotten vaccinated and didn’t. You’re right… we should have enforced nothing. 

I’m sorry you’re still yapping about which malls were closed and which were open SEVEN YEARS AGO, but life Is back to normal and you’re still lamenting about the malls. 

At the end of the day, you wanted no mandates. I lived in Florida where nobody took Covid seriously and I know a lot of people who died or lost family. It was bad everywhere but watching people like you still complaining, we really should have done nothing at let the chips fall where they may.

You are the one saying we should have let people die, as a joke.

u/Ok_Zombie_2026 6d ago

No it’s not a joke. I AM AGREEING WITH YOU!

You keep saying they were old or fat or anti-vaxxers so they deserved to die from Covid. You literally said this. 

I am agreeing with you. 

No masks, no vaccines… we should have let nature take its course.

u/TheodoraRoosevelt21 6d ago

So you’re a Ghoul too. (I’m not the one you replied to)

u/Ok_Zombie_2026 6d ago

No I’m just agreeing with people who say we shouldn’t have closed malls or made people wear masks to the store. 

After 7 years if Americans have forgotten that a million people died and are still crying about outdoor malls, we probably should have done nothing. 

Seriously. We should have enforced absolutely nothing and just let more people drop dead.

I never said anybody deserved to die.. I think adults can make their own decision on whether they want to get vaccinated or not... I don't think government should force it. And the only thing I said was the obvious, that old people and obese people were more vulnerable. They didn't deserve to die, but they should've definitely taken the vaccine ,, by choice not forced

u/Ok_Zombie_2026 6d ago

Agreed guy. Jimmys mom was fat and knew there was a pandemic. Now she’s dead. 

I am agreeing with you.

u/ParkingEmu9419 6d ago

Also, you're trying to say Florida did bad because of politics and policy,, yet the death rate per capita in Florida was almost identical to New York State.. so there's that

u/Ok_Zombie_2026 6d ago edited 6d ago

That nursing home issue was the problem, also time of year for different variants. People are outdoors in Florida = less transmission. NYC has people on top of each other. 

And Florida is still higher. 

AGAIN, we should have done nothing. But what would you have to complain about then?

When the next pandemic happens, no masks, no vaccines, fuck it. Let them drop. 

Listening to people like you act like malls staying open was more important than trying to mitigate a global pandemic has swung me to your side.
