I'm a longtime vegan tankie, but nothing makes people unfriend me faster than saying "people should mask because COVID is still dangerous" (hexbear.net)

Seriously I've lost count of the number of people I've lost, it's at least 20 since the pandemic started. It's not like people forward me articles like "oh here's why COVID is fine now".

It's an iron law to me know, I've seen it so much in my life. Libs CANNOT stomach the idea that they're in the wrong about something. It'll eat them up inside worse than anything.

I wore masks in public before covid, not wearing masks is a weird american cultural thing, the flu is still out there.

    It's so weird to me that unitedstatesers weren't masking every flu season before covid. So many deaths could have been prevented from the flu alone! The flu spreads through the air, and masks stop it. So why haven't we been wearing them? Handwashing is good but it doesn't protect from a lot of airborn transmission. Almost like the cdc has been eschewing commonsense safety measures for a long time.
