Should we all still be required to wear a mask?

Tribtranny - I will never support any type of mandate. The point is that our current leadership can not be trusted.

"I would have trusted Washington." What a cop out! You are either for government mandated health safety measures or against it.

The polio quarantine measures were government mandated, were they wrong?

I would have trusted Washington. I do not trust modern medicine. Not after the Trump vaccines

Tribune is a good liberal. Obeys Biden


Even tribune does not support a new mask and vaccine mandate

Seems antithesis stands alone

When a proportion of our population has to be told to do what is necessary to protect themselves and others, what does that say about them?

Antithesis, which other countries require their adult citizens to get flu shots and boosters as the government sees fit?


Don't know. Don't care. My ideology doesn't vary based on the opinions of politicians.

I've answered all of your questions honestly, yet you ignore mine...

How many lives are you willing to sacrifice for your vanity?

Or said in another way... how many people have to die in order for you to change your policy on refusing to wear a mask or get vaccinated?

George Washington ordered that all his soldiers had to be vaccinated against smallpox, was he a tyrant?

define "vaccinated"

I defer to the definition given by the CDC on the link I gave earlier...


Would you require people to constantly get boosters and new vaccines?

Obviously. Antibodies for viruses go away after a period of time, and viruses regularly mutate. A vaccine against a virus today might be completely irrelevant in 6 months, so boosters would have to be a requirement.

Some younguns thinks the vax is what is causing all them deaths, theesy.

There's absolutely no evidence of that, though, it's just more Russian propaganda.

And since people eat up that propaganda like candy, that's why it would have to be a legal requirement and not voluntary... gullibility doesn't stop someone from spreading it.

Or vaccinated... you convinced me of that in the other thread.

Do you not see your opinion appears extreme to all but you?

My ideology doesn't vary based on popular opinion.

Are you saying that 27,000 Americans dying each year isn't enough for you to wear a mask or get vaccinated?

Actually

antithesis, it seams that you think we should all be forced to wear a mask to fight the common flu?

Masks don't work.


Countless studies have proven you to be wrong...

Antithis, you want me to wear a mask right now, today


If you are going out in public, then yes.

People with the flu are most contagious during the first 3-4 days of infection, but they can spread the virus to others before they show symptoms. And it can be contagious for up to 7 days after symptoms resolve.


So you might not THINK you've been exposed and could be feeling perfectly fine, but could still have the flu and be spreading it around.

Are we in a Pandemic now?

I'm not talking about just COVID, I'm also including the flu. Which, as I've shown before, kills about 27,000 Americans each year.

If you have the flu but don't know it so you don't wear a mask, then you give the flu to someone else that dies from it... would you agree that, had you worn that mask, then that person would have been much less likely to die? Or at the very least, they would have been less likely to catch the flu from you that would have led to their death?

If not vanity, why did you refuse to wear a mask during the pandemic?

Let me ask it another way... how many people have to die in order for you to change your policy on refusing to wear a mask?

Antithesis, I am confused by your question about vanity.


I would like to answer it. can you please explain what you mean?
