I was asked why I don’t take Covid and the mask situation seriously. I said that I do take the virus seriously. I believe there is a virus and that it is dangerous. But the people who are disseminating the information to us have a long, long track record of lying to and showing dismissive contempt for American citizens as a whole.
At one point, the disease was supposed to have a 5% death rate. The death rate has now been reduced to less than 1/3 of 1% worldwide. The truth is I’m not opposed to masks at all. Much like carrying a firearm, I don’t and won’t shame anyone for deciding to wear one or not. Sort of a “my body, my choice” situation I suppose.
However, when considering the trustworthiness of information coming from our politicians, I’ve been unable to reconcile the fact that 200,000 people protesting in the streets is met with little to no concern, but a bar, restaurant or hair salon with 10 people in it could be disastrous. The idea that a Trump rally of 18,000 people is a significant risk but a group of 20,000 students tearing down statues isn’t, leaves me perplexed.
Further, how could you possibly take anyone seriously who mandates that free citizens stay at home and wear masks in public but also calls for the acceptance of millions of immigrants entering our society illegally with no record of immunizations against more common and deadly diseases every day.
The truth is that our political “leaders,” just like with guns, drugs, our national debt or sex trafficking, have absolutely no idea what they’re talking about and no plan outside of what’s handed to them 6 seconds before they reach the podium.
So I choose to protect myself as I see fit. If anyone doesn’t like it, I’m ok with that. Just think of it as a “protest.” That seems to be ok with many people! Ok? Cool.

Totally agree with you!
Its shameful that too many arent making a bigger stink about all of the deception.
It’s ok! Just keep going and floating along
Thank you for the support.
I couldn't have said it any better. 👌
I agree
The truth remains that COVID19 is real.
The information about the disease is hyped.
Some people are eating from the public Treasury in the name of fighting COVID19.
Influenza and other ailments are real too. Have you ever seen an entire economy shut down every year for different influenza strains?
No, this thing is nothing but politically driven fear to tank the chances of Trump being re-elected.
Are there those that are exploiting this situation for money? Yeah. An example are the people pushing "cures" and other snake oils on people due to this pandemic, like hydroxychloroquine. Or people pushing false claims on Youtube and the rest of the internet so they can monetize their content or worse, just to make people divisive.
Id give you that dubem-eu vs the tin hattery going around. I dont see it has "hyped" in total but I can understand you using that term. Yes, greene, the flu and other ailments are real..no duh. Covid is not the flu. Catch covid, and if you are unlucky enough not to just be asymptomatic, come back and talk. Its not comparable to the flu. Sounds like greene is pushing their own FEAR on people again. Science beats your fear like rock beats scissors except its not a game.
Hey genius, it's a virus. There are many varieties of viruses that all living things are susceptible to.
This coronavirus is a new strain of "coronavirus" like their are different strains of influenza every damn year.
Are we supposed to now mask up and shutdown the economy for EVERY new strain?
Stop being a mindless sheep...thinking freely is free.
Hey genius. Still not the flu and much worse than one. NO DUH ITS A VIRUS! LOL. Reading scienctific data and not believing tin hat nonesense while actually knowing something about virology is not usually consider mindless, unless youre a braindwashed sheep. No, you were suppose to wear a mask while shopping and social distancing for a while now. The economy is not "shut down", its slowed but not "shut down". And once again, genius, its not the flu, we have been handling the flu for a long enough to be able to handle it every year (vaccines are a big part of that), and this is what they call a novel virus. Look it up, genius. It's an important term to know. If you wanna melt about science and reality at least try to back it up with more than strawgrasping and your feelings. Science doesn't give a shit about your feels. Dont wanna wear a mask. Dont go shopping. Stay away from others. You being a tin hat sheep and refusing to learn, willful ignorance, which is a form of stupidity, doesnt mean others have to allow you to impede on their own liberties, like the liberty of health and being able to get the economy back up to speed. Wearing a face cover, which has plenty of scientific data to back it up and to retort your feels, social distancing, and not spreading disinformation will help speed things back up. When you act like a antimasker snowflake you are only slowing things down, thus impeding on others liberty. But you dont care about liberty do you? You care about your own personal freedoms over the liberty of all. People like you are a reason the pandemic is only accelerating in the United States. Brainwashed into willful ignorance. The world is laughing at the US. The US is #1 at not dealing with a pandemic. You people are worse than flat earthers.
Yay!

Being skeptical doesnt mean youre not wrong. Keep researching and not keeping your head in the dirt and you will eventually get it. You can be skeptical all day but its real, its worse than the flu, its killing people around the world, the US is getting worse due to the improper handling, etc. But we know..you got your feelings. Stop listening to the world leaders then and listen to science. I dont need to listen to a politician to know what is going on. Some politican not knowing what theyre doing normally also agree that Covid is real and a threat doesnt mean covid isnt a threat. Thats really bad logic and strawgrasping.And if you dont like people calling you out on Hive dont waste your points on sponsoring these posts. lol.
Triggered much?
Says the person spending points to get their complaining read more on Ecency? Lol. You are triggered by masks and your own ignorance.
A great new industry for all the bacteria re-rebreathers among the sheeple
Learn what asymptomatic means before you meme. But you found a photo of a sign that pushes your agenda...fuck actual data. Who needs science when you got a sign. Who needs all the data and learning that came after that sign was put up (if its even real and not another fake like so much more anti-masker "proof"). LMFAO
And if you learned to read who its from then fact check their info...Like how they state they require masks and other PPE along with social distancing. How they use all sorts of current covid precautions, like masks. Cant even back up your own tin hattery. Im not even sure that sign was legit. It looks photoshopped like a mother fucker. A graphic designer would question that shit. But nah... and dumbass. Wearing a mask keeps you from touching your face as often. There is literally a barrier in the way. Add eye protection to that and its even less likely you will touch your eyes mouth nose. But that would make too much sense and follow along with research and evidence.
This is your eventual achievement for being a good faithful mask wearing sheep...
