Anti-Mask Are You?

 Putting on a mask to keep yourself and others safe seems like the simplest thing in the world.  If this were an Ebola pandemic, everyone would be masking up because no one wants blood on their bodies, especially not their own blood.

But because we are talking about an airborne disease rather than a bloodborne one, we've got the lunatics complaining about mask mandates.  The lunatics just like to complain.  They "don't want no dang government interference" in their pathetic lives, and their lives are, indeed, pathetic if this mask thing happens to be their biggest issue.  I would gladly point out their bigger issues, and I might win an argument with an intelligent person, but never with a stupid one.

I happen to live in a city where mask mandates are in place, and I am glad about it.  What's not to be glad about?   I'm staying healthy.  I'm helping my neighbors stay healthy.  I haven't contracted COVID in a state that's rampant with it.  I live in the South, where intelligent decisions are rarely made by the populace.  Fortunately for me, I live in a city filled with intelligent people, and leaders.

As we enter year three of a nasty virus pandemic, a lot of the anti-vaxxers, anti-maskers are dropping dead.  I'd never wish death on anyone, but let's just say I'm a HUGE PROPONENT of natural selection.

I wish I knew what the real reason behind the anti-mask, anti-vax issues were.  Any thoughtful person would trust the science.  I can only surmise that these anti-mask, anti-vax people have terrible breath and that this is the reason for their reluctance to wear a mask.  Perhaps providing sample sized bottles of Listerine or Scope along with every mask would help.  Or a free roll of Lifesavers.  And if they don't get a vaccine, I imagine that they are deeply afraid of needles, not the vaccine itself.  These people are such ignorant babies.  Takes less than 5 seconds to get that vaccine, but they're willing to jeopardize everyone by not rolling up their sleeves because they don't like shots.  And let's, for a moment, talk about the esthetic value of wearing a mask.  Most people are not beautiful.  Covering up half their faces is a definite improvement, especially their teeth.

Well, my rant is done.  I'm going to go back to being a responsible citizen and giving the death stare to the maskless, unvaxxed every chance I get.
