Immunocompromised people: Any chance we could mask like, at least in healthcare settings Liberals who don't mask: HOW DARE YOU REMIND ME I CONSIDER CERTAIN PEOPLE DISPOSABLE!!! IT MAKES IT HARDER FOR ME TO TELL MYSELF I'M A GOOD PERSON!!! THIS IS A BAD TACTIC! YOU'RE DERANGED!!

Since the late 1970s we've lost over 800,000 Americans to AIDS in the past 4.5 years we've lost around 1.2 million Americans to COVID We think of the former as a horribly mismanaged crisis that devalued the lives of people at risk... but we're nailing it with the latter?

People who still mask in public bother you so much because you know, deep down, they're right.

Like, imagine being left for dead by people with attitudes like yours. I'm on chemo, and like never get any viruses bc I mask. But living is hard because people like you act like we're losers for knowing our risk level & being determined to not be an "acceptable loss"

Y'all know this narrative that most covid conscious people are perfectly healthy people who've recently acquired a mental illness is an excuse you've come up with to justify no longer valuing the lives of people who are high risk

This is what mask bans do: - they stigmatize people who have to wear them - they make others feel more entitled to demand people take their masks off. - they give the impression that masking is so unnecessary, you're up to no good or need to be "educated" if you're wearing one

Well, it finally happened to me. ER nurse called HOSPITAL SECURITY on me last night because I declined to remove my mask--despite repeatedly stating immune compromised, have #LongCOVID, can't risk reinfection & asking to speak to my ER doctor on options. Public health? Free fall.

People defending a woman who didn't mask around her husband with terminal cancer are saying "he was dying anyway" A relative of mine was dying of cancer - covid hastened her death, caused tons of clotting all over her body, and caused needless pain in her last hours.

Hate to say it, but I'm not the kind of medically vulnerable person that can be peer pressured into devaluing my life so much that I constantly put myself at risk so I can go to brunch or smile at a stranger at a store.

If you think masking is hard - you'll super think chronic illness and a dysregulated immune system are hard.

So if I understand the internet correctly... having a dead spouse makes you an untouchable saint who is always right and should speak for all sick people and being critically ill and speaking up for your own right to life and treatment makes you a "deranged psycho?"

People who still mask are usually medically vulnerable and doing it to protect themselves or someone they love who's vulnerable. When we left the vulnerable for dead saying "we have the tools" - masks were it So to assume everyone you see who masks is an anxious freak, is wild

When I mention people on chemo as an example of high risk people - why is the assumption I'm a mentally ill sycophant and not just literally a person on chemo who wants to not get killed off by a virus that is very likely to do long term damage or kill someone like me???

If you actually didn't care about COVID you wouldn't be so obsessed with pointing out how "delusional" people who still have to mask are. If you didn't care, you'd leave it alone. The way you ignore people you see on the street that are unhoused or mentally ill...
