event 2

So many have died who didn’t need to.
So many suffering who could’ve been protected.
So much sadness that will endure.
So much lost that will never be regained.
I will never understand why wearing masks was a big deal.
I will never understand why vaccines became the enemy.

Let me get this straight-

Mask mandates are tyranny but kids living in fear every day that they’re going to be shot and killed in their classroom isn’t ?

In one of my kid’s classes, in Florida, the teacher told students she had cancer, recently finished chemotherapy and asked if more of them would wear masks the next day for her sake. About half were wearing masks. The next day, after her plea, still about half were wearing masks.

Yesterday at active shooter training, we were told that if there was a shooting at our school, we could use our masks from the pandemic to stuff the bullet wounds of the children.

Raise your hand if you'd rather breathe through a mask than through a ventilator. ✋

Right wing christians weren't always opposed to wearing masks. They encouraged each other to wear them to protect against AIDS, a disease not airborne. But doing so in the 1980s *did* let them torment & hate the gay community. And somehow, then, they didn't think masks kill you. pic.twitter.com/cbwXlZO4QV
