I love how something like this can reach the front page but if you take it just a little shuffle further and say that maybe, just maybe, it’s, ike, possible that some medical professionals are not infallible resources of knowledge and action, you’ll never hear the end about how much of a killer you are
I mean random nurses aren’t setting COVID policy. I have a family member who is a nurse and she still doesn’t even believe COVID is real… in 2024.
Noone wants to work 24h shifts in an ffp2 if you don’t really have to and also every colleague had like every possible infection during autumn already.
Yup. I’d rather get COVID than wear a mask all day every day. I will wear a mask if I know I’m sick, of hospitals are getting overwhelmed, or if I know I’ll be around vulnerable people, but that’s it. I took every precaution from 2020 on, and got sick anyway. It’s going to happen, so I’d prefer to at least be comfortable than just delay the inevitable.
I got COVID two months ago and it sucked, and I’d rather repeat that than live my life with a mask.

You’re supposed to wear the mask so that you don’t expel covid (or anything else) onto other people. It’s not for your protection.
Exactly! If you’ve been exposed to the virus, it makes a ton of sense.
When I last got COVID, I:
- self-quarantined as much as possible, keeping as much distance as I could
- wore a surgical mask (best mask I had) until I was able to get an N95 mask (about a day)
- wore the N95 mask whenever I was anywhere near anyone until I was able to effectively quarantine
But that’s not an everyday thing. Once I had confirmed I was negative, I stopped wearing the mask in public. There’s no need, I’m healthy and I’m around other healthy people. I’m not going to wear a mask out of fear of what might be out there, I’ll wear it when I’m near people who are at-risk or when asked. I’m not going to wear it 24/7 though.
Nobody’s asking you to wear it 24/7. They’re just asking you to wear it when you’re around people. It really isn’t hard. I’ve been doing it for years.
Thank you for reminding us all of the dangers of long COVID. It is truly disheartening to see the devastating effect prolonged inflammation has had to your higher reasoning capabilities.
What a weird way to spell “risking my own death and the death of others is totally acceptable to me because I have absolutely no regard for human life, look at how superior and enlightened I am. NO MUZZLE REEEEEEEEE”
Where did I say I was anti-mask? I said I’m only wearing a mask if I’m likely contagious or will be in close proximity to at-risk individuals.
I have a stack of N95 masks at home that I wear as needed. But if I’m healthy and around other healthy people, I see no point. If I see someone with a mask on, I’ll keep my distance for their comfort, or put on a mask if that’s not feasible. But I’m not wearing a mask all day every day out of fear, that’s just dumb.
Oh hun. With the far-right, anti-mask, anti-vax, Trump-loving conspiracy theorist bible-thumping MAGA racist flat-earther transphobic attitude you’ve displayed, you’re fooling no one here. I shouldn’t have to explain this to you but without at least an N95 on in public you’re just being selfish- it’s not about you, you know. It’s not about “fear” either, it’s about taking pride in being a lefty, being liberal, and understanding that sacrifices need to be made for the agenda here. Please reflect on your MAGA virtue signaling BS, science is to be trusted not tested. We both know you don’t have the education to doubt cold hard facts. It makes me sick to know dummy flat earthers like you had already overdosed on horse medicine, you aren’t capable to think straight anymore. Get help.
it’s about taking pride in being a lefty, being liberal, and understanding that sacrifices need to be made for the agenda here… science is to be trusted not tested
Lol, nice. You’ve nailed “the problem” you posted accused me of being like 4 times.
I’m not a conservative or a progressive, I just like good science and apply it in a way that doesn’t unnecessarily get in the way of regular life. I’ll wear a mask when it has a big impact, and I won’t if it’s just virtue signaling. I’ll get vaccinated because that’s a good idea. I’ll reduce consumption, not increase consumption to “own the libs” or “show how green I am.” And so on.
I’ll finish with an Bible-based, anti-Vietnam War song to really confuse both sides:
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
…
A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
- Turn, Turn, Turn by The Byrds
- Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 - King James Version of the Bible
Thump thump, I guess. Oh yeah, and a both sides argument to round everything out.
Quoting the Bible eh? You’re definitely not a MAGA insurrectionist… smh. Isn’t that the book that says the earth is flat, slavery is the way, and science is some liberal satanic end times deception?? Do you even know how old the Bible is??? Let me guess, you tested the claims of the Bible instead of blindly trusting them. You can’t just pick and choose, whether it’s Bible verses or mask best practices. Did Jesus play both sides like you do? Everyone here knows how dumb the “enlightened centrist” angle is. Vote Democrat or you’re a fascist. And wear a damn mask to the voting booth. It’s that simple. Stop with the dog whistles and the “doing your own research” pal. You’re wrong in every way you stick your head out, follow the damn crowd like a true leftist or take the right-wing rhetoric elsewhere.
