just read the last statement, it wins the stupid Olympics. In her/his/their world viruses that are in your body just fly out of them without having to attach themselves to larger saliva particles or mucus, the virus jus flies off like they are in the CDC hot zone.

If fully vaccinated, healthy people choose to just stick with the basic minimal CDC guidelines which are now shifting towards those folks (not unvaccinated people) being able to not wear masks in many settings, that's their choice.

But strangers don't know the health status of the folks who are going above and beyond that and wearing masks, nor their family's health status or why they may be choosing to wear a mask. As others have also stated earlier, it really isn't anyone's business and it doesn't impact those who are not wearing masks. And given the nasty attitudes of the people who have been anti-maskers/anti-vaxxers and haven't done anything for the last 1+ year to show even the slightest degree of empathy, help, or respect towards anyone around them when things have been much more dire than they are now, if they feel uncomfortable seeing someone in a mask, I really don't care.

If I decided wearing a mask was a good decision for me, for whatever reason, what they think would be the absolute least of my worries.

I really feel sorry for the children who although not at risk, have been needlessly terrorized through it all. Going forward, I suspect the treatment of various mental illnesses to be a burgeoning industry

As a Libertarian if someone wants to wear a mask or not wear one should be their choice or a business if they want to enforce such a thing. Never a mandate by the government. If someone is brainwashed I really don't care. Kind of tired of mask talk since they are not required hardly anywhere at this point.

"Federal law requires all airline passengers in the U.S. to wear a face mask in airports and on board."

If you're walking around like a dunce, that's on you.

Do you know what a tampon is, how it's used, and what it does? Seems like you don't if you're comparing a face mask to a tampon.

You know what's really seriously dumb? Parroting the same false equivalency over and over again.

Americans love their new, imported quirky nerdy germaphobe culture.

How the hell does a mask "take your emotions away"? That doesn't even make sense.
