Because Covid, at its worst, had a 99+% survival rate for anyone who didn’t have preexisting medical issues.

Actually, not everyone refused, but some did. Some were telling people to go visit Chinatown, some were calling policies to restrict travel from China Racist, and some did it all while not wearing masks.

Some went to restaurants and had parties...indoors and mask-free. Some got their hair done while they told other businesses to close. Some went to NFL championship games and the Superbowl. Some from New York were seen vacationing in Florida dancing the night away totally mask-free.

Now, who were some of those people...

Right wingers need to decide if COVID is no big thang (cold, flu etc.) or if it was a "lab created/spilled Chinese bioweapon" like the Republican committee studying it just claimed.

COVID kills people of color disproportionately, also known as Democrats, because they're disproportionately fat. Not because they don't have a mask.

If you're tired of losing your voter base, tell them to put down the vaccines and pick up a gym membership.
Masking and taking unproven experimental shots won't fix this. This is and has been about power, money, and control.

This was IMO a deliberate biowar effort by the chicoms. Perhaps it didn't start like that, but once it blew out into the local populace it became biowarfare. China sent the infected across the world but especially to their mortal enemy, the USA.

Another item. Listening to some MD expert spout off about his feelings has zero effect on my thoughts on the chicommie flu. Today, for SOME reason, NOBODY you see on the boob toob says, "I think." Yet how you feel is utterly insignificant.
If a supposed scientist doesn't know the difference between feeling and thinking, he needs to go back to school.

Wake up buddy.

It was a bioweapon created by the Chinese (with help from our own Dr. Death - Fauci) in 2019, and released in 2020 to harm the world and prevent Donald Trump from being re-elected. (although it took a lot of election BS besides that to get the job done)

That was then. Now - it's a nothingburger.... it's mutated into a common cold.

Uh, yeah. No.

Net net, masks only slow spread and not by much. In the long run, everyone is getting it several times where it either kills you or it does less and less each time you get it.

Most of the people it was going to kill have been killed.

Wrong.

People with zero preexisting conditions is not even a majority any more since over 50% of us are fat.

It had a real kill rate of around (officially like 6% but was likely really around 3%. They listed my father as having died of covid. He actually died with covid, but was really killed by his 5th seizure and being an 89 year old physical wreck)

I know few doctors and a dozenish nurses. Covid was very bad. It still haunts the people I know in the medical field.

NOW the rate is 99+% because the most susceptible died and current treatments are FAR better.

A worldwide bioweapon that was nothing worse than a cold or flu?

Nonsensical.

They aren't wearing useless cloths masks. They aren't hanging them from their car's rearview mirror as if they were sunglasses. They aren't dropping them on the ground or shoving them in their "street clothes" pockets all day long, and then putting them back on. They aren't wearing the white masks that come out of a box that informs you, and has from the start, that they do not prevent you from getting Covid.

And if you think no "frontline workers" got sick any way, you're...shall I say "dead wrong".
