The mask requirement seems like a good way to detect the loose screws of society who don't have the ability to tolerate even a simple request.

Wonder if any of our anti-maskers would be willing to condemn this loon?

Yes, the simple request to quit telling people to wear useless masks. The maskers are nuts.

Moron, disrespecting the solemn 9-11 ceremony, pulling down his mask to shout cheerful greetings to friends he saw in the crowd.



Vegetable, whose incompetence resulted in the deaths of thirteen marines, shows how much he gives AF.

Anti-Vaxxer Cole Beasley Destroyed by NFL Fans for Dropped Pass: ‘Wasn’t Lying’ When He Said He Can’t ‘Catch Anything’


It’s fascinating how anti-vaxxers are like society’s punching bags now.

Every day there are stories about how a vocal anti-vaxxer either died or is on a ventilator and everybody just cracks a joke about them and feels absolutely no sympathy.

And that is absolutely how it should be.

Speaks for itself.

Quote:
Veronica Wolski, a prominent supporter of the QAnon conspiracy theory, died on Monday after a weeks-long battle with COVID-19.


Best known for hanging conspiratorial banners from a bridge in Chicago, Wolski passed away at the Amita Health Resurrection Medical Center after succumbing to the deadly disease.


Wolski's death was first announced on Telegram by disgraced attorney Lin Wood, a major figure in the QAnon movement as well as an advocate for debunked election fraud claims.

"I have just learned that Veronica Wolski saw the face of God this morning at 12:44 a.m.," Wood wrote.

Wolski had spurred a widespread harassment campaign against healthcare workers just days prior after conspiracy theorists began demanding that she be treated with Ivermectin, an anti-parasite drug that right-wing individuals falsely believe cures COVID.

Wood even filmed himself the day before Wolski's death calling the hospital and threatening staff with murder charges unless the QAnon supporter was given Ivermectin.

In other statements on Telegram, Wood called on his more than 800,000 followers to "ensure that these medical murders stop NOW and the perpetrators be brought to justice."

"Veronica will be on her bridge in Heaven looking down on us," Wood said. "We must do our best to make sure Veronica did not leave this Earth in vain."

As noted by Newsweek, other prominent QAnon figures such as fellow attorney Sidney Powell and former national security adviser Michael Flynn also encouraged their followers to bombard the hospital with calls.

Wolski is just the latest in a growing number of anti-vax conspiracy theorists who have died from COVID. Just last month ex-CIA officer turned QAnon promoter Robert David Steele died from COVID after repeatedly referring to the virus as a "hoax."

Most people not getting it are for all those same reasons and most have thought it out. Only to be called all kinds of names by the left, as usual.


AZ, I am certainly not ‘the left’. Let’s take out the word vaccine. There is a disease going around. A lot of people are dying from it. I can cut down your chance of dying from it around 50 fold. There is a really minor treatment that does this. The treatment has proven to be safe in well over 99.99% of people. What do you call a person who doesn’t take the treatment? Either stupid, or delusional (grow a second head in 30 years, microchips in treatment, government conspiracy, etc…)

Hear Hear
Totally agree
Its absurd to make the vaccine political
Vaccines have been mandatory for children in some of are reddest states
Its absurd for some republicans to go about face on vaccines due to politics endangering lives
