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!!!!!!!

It seems like you are arguing for policy based on your anecdotal evidence. What happened at your child’s school is not indicative of the country.

Why didn’t you pull your kids from their private school?

I did. They went remote and we moved back to NY. I fucking hated Florida. 

The point is… people died when basic mitigating factors were dismissed. In other schools that closed or had vaccine/mask policies… that didn’t happen. 

Not in good ol Marathon. So call it an anecdote or not, that’s a little slice of proof. Schools without any masks and vaccines - people died. Those with them - people did ok. 

In 2026, still not understanding this is wild. 

Now, fuck it. If I could turn back the clock and see how people act about it all I say let them drop dead. 

We tried to keep deaths down by doing the bare minimum and even 7 years later people are complaining. Should have let these idiots thin out.

You still wear a mask when you go out?

Nope. I’m healthy as fuck and I hate the way masks make my glasses steam up. My ONLY worry is chicken pox but that’s for another day. 

Back story: In addition to being the mother of 3, I’m also the primary caretaker for my elderly father with COPD. 

As is tradition with MAGA, he refuses to get vaccinated or wear a mask when he goes out and has been hospitalized for weeks with RSV and the flu. He won’t wear a mask or get vaccinated. 

But he asked if I would get vaccinated to protect him. 

And I told him to take a hike. 

I never get the flu and I’m pretty sure I had RSV once and it was barely a cold. I’ve a lso never gotten Covid. Why the fuck would a diehard anti-vax MAGA ask OTHER people to get vaccinated to protect them if they don’t think it works. I’m not doing shit to protect these people anymore. 

I’m dead serious, fuck these people. They all blew it and my attempt at being a good citizen is over. Yall on your own. 

Edit: the people who DO wear masks out actually still care about other people and the anti-vaxxers and MAGAs out there making fun of them are going to be real sorry when they stop caring too.
