    So you’re saying you didn’t pay any attention to the actual information and instead cherry-picked what you wanted to hear in order to get out of wearing a mask? You DO realize that the whole reason the number of cases of flu dropped dramatically (but has been rising again) is specifically because so many people were wearing masks and preventing the spread of the flu and other illnesses? The problem is that people like you continue to deny covid is a problem until you are the one who is lying in a hospital bed dying. No that’s not an exaggeration, I saw a ton of this happening in 2020-2021. The county next to me (which I live only a few miles from the edge of) actually passed laws circumventing the state laws about mask wearing… The result was that they had so many people sick and dying that they were overflowing into OUR hospitals (which had a lot of free beds due to most of us actually following the masking laws). And despite so many of them dying, they STILL held protests every weekend complaining about the masking laws.

    Tell me you’re living in a state of denial without telling me you’re living in a state of denial.

      Ah yes, covid lockdowns stopped flu because everyone wore masks but covid lockdowns didn’t stop covid because noone wore masks type argument again.

      Whether I wear a mask or not doesn’t affect whether hospitals can handle people who are too weak to handle trifle respiratory infection that has abysmal chance of killing anyone including my 73 year old father who is alive and well and will tell you same thing I did.

      The fact is that there’s 8 billion people and like 6 million died if I were to believe it. That’s not even a drop in a bucket, and in any case I’m not responsible for any of it, no amount of guilt tripping me will change that.

          I didn’t imply that you said any of it. Maybe you should project less and be less hysteric in general because my body my choice.

                Yeah, get nitpicky with the guy’s grammar! You can’t win this argument, so take the guy down because he used the wrong word!

                Nice, troll. Keep up the good work
